I'm getting some replies to my suggestion about Devs using old hardware and constrained resources when creating software. A common reaction is the suggestion that a compiler and IDE doesn't even fit in the 25G I suggested in my toot.

If your compiler and editor don't fit in 25GB of storage, what the fuck are you even building with? You're enshrining bloat before you even write a line of code.

An editor like vi, git, a compiler like GCC, and make, should all fit in 1GB of disc. No problem.
