WHY BLOAT IS BAD:

- more bugs, higher fuck up surface
- less security, higher attack surface
- lower performance and higher HW demands, higher discrimination against users, wastes energy, non-eco
- longer and more painful compilation, more friction
- higher maintenance cost, humans become slaves to technology, wastes human effort
- less portability due to dependencies and more code to port, higher discrimination against users
- fewer people understand the code, it is effectively controlled by fewer people and so less free
- higher chance of becoming unusable due to broken dependencies
- takes more head space, leaves less time and energy to think about actual problems
- creates bullshit tools and jobs that exist just to manage bloat
- painful to manage, deteriors mental health, results in burn outs
- grows exponentially, e.g. more code also needs more test code
- is ugly
