Software is not becoming leaner and faster, the processor is faster and beefier. The only leaner in executable code nowadays is handled in the compiler, most courses don’t teach you how to optimize your code, “The computer is fast enough you don’t need to” is the common approach by most recent graduates, as taught to them by their instructors.
