Wirth, N. ::: A Plea for Lean Software
Table of Contents
A essay by wirth to propose that:
- software should be smaller
- a system should probably never be built if it can’t be fully understood by 1 person.

the essay propose that slower software is tolerated as hardware is getting faster than that.
But this also made it that faster hardware does not do much good for us, as all the extra power are consumed by larger and lousier software systems
