    I remember when they changed the backronym for Emacs from “Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping” to Eighty. Megabytes. Or when a Netscape developer was proud to overtake that memory use.

    What’s the point of more RAM and faster processors if we just make applications that much less efficient?
