Amazing engineering. Today's software development: Write a program running on a framework (of which you need 1%, but get it all), that framework depends on dozens of libraries (but again, you only needed 1% of them), which in turn depends on dozens more.

Result: Your starter program takes 1GB of memory and needs 6 cores to display "Hello, World!"

We waste resources, because Moore's Law gave us resources to waste.
