Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months agoyes but think about how much money writing 500MB worth of code would cost.
I realize it’s not all code, and some of it is already written, but please, muse me, and do the math for it.

Writing less code costs more money. The programm is large because they slapped some existing stuff together instead of writing everything from scratch

there is an inevitable cost to written code though, it simply cannot be computed away. In this case the cost is just a shitty application with an even shittier user experience.
