With reference to the last point, software hasn't really needed to be small

Small no, but fast yes. Efficient yes. Scalable, yes. Sensible
complexity, yes.

From a development point of view, things are getting interesting (again, in
certain fields - certainly mine). No longer can you rely on sheer processing
speed and memory alone to get the job done. Hopefully we're seeing a bit of
a return to efficiency and speed at the program level??

And then all us Computer Scientists can brush away the bedroom VB
coders and get things back the way they should be.
