Linux Programmer

My major problem with bloated code is when I have to go back and modify or
debug the code. There is simply too much going on there that I didn't put
there. When you don't know what's in your own code, you have a problem. I
don't believe that anyone can *afford* bloated code because the maintenance
costs are too high.
