how much memory should your app take at idle? there is a simple rule of thumb: multiply your screen dimensions by your color depth. if your footprint exceeds your screen buffer, you are concealing state from your users. what are you trying to hide? why are you lying to them?

the software stack can never be simplified. complexity is a function of person-hours, driven by demand, transcending substrate. any local simplification creates a vacuum and the rush to fill it is always more explosive than foundational
