Richard Erlacher said:
The tendency to use HLL's, using the excuse of "better maintainability" as a justification, makes it far too easy to write a 'C' program that compiles and links to 25 Kb when 1K bytes might have done the job.


Who cares ? Does it meet the spec ? Will it fit in the resources I have ? Anything else is unproductive.
I've fired guys who think size or elegance is critical.
