lets see how space alien finishes it..

> And get another one? The paperwork alone takes three weeks!

The humor in this joke relies on subverting expectations through comedic juxtaposition:

Divine Subversion — God is traditionally viewed as an omnipotent entity capable of reshaping creation at will. Refraining from striking down the individual subverts expected divine wrath.
Bureaucratic Absurdity — The reason given for sparing the individual is not divine mercy, but rather the tedious administrative hassle of replacing a human.
Mundane Framing — The act of creation is framed not as a miraculous event, but as a slow, red-tape-laden administrative task requiring weeks of paperwork.

is bloat inevitable?

There is a difference between scope creep and maintenance where you get rid of defects of all sorts of kinds.

We see this with UIs all the time. Norm cattle are incapable of saying "yep this is done lets move on". Nope, there is always another UPDOOT on the way

according to the spiral of progress - yes

>>109386999
can we solve this problem?
>>
>>109387087
solving the problem starts the progress spiral, so nope, only solution is a complete stasis, solving by not solving - placing the whole thing in a constrained box / into a strict isolation, like T.Davis did with his 16 colors and 640x480 resolution.

what if we keep starting spirals ad infinitum

spiral goes into infinity, continuing it with "solving the bloat problem" is futile, starting from the zero makes up a new project and a new spiral.

that's what I meant, we keep spawning new spirals to support the first one and we don't stop. I think this will be fairly stable and the bloat will hit diminishing returns without much overhead

>>109388271
wespeak - not nice, i speak - yes, better. maybe you can whirl more on an early stage, to forge the project, determining and planning better limit, kinda tactic

no, you cannot get back, the irreversibility of the software is defined as a backward compatibility, that would be a new/different project which may be worse (more bloated)
