‪honestly i'm not even joking here, these are reasonable guidelines. if the full version of a piece of software that isn't like, a game, demands more than a gigabyte of disk space then something is seriously wrong, and few things should need even a tenth of that‬

@hikari this is why I don't use VS code even if it's not technically owned by ms or whatever

@efi @hikari i recall borland c++ builder using about as much in like 2007

(it came on a cd rom, naturally)

@efi @hikari 380 MB, this is smaller than even a base install of BCB5 (and BCB5 got to be 32-bit! that saves quite a bit of space!)

I think VS Code is fine, space-wise

@efi @hikari vs code loses overall because it doesn't have a sick installation screen (this is pre-BCB but still Borland)

‪maybe the way to feel like you have a powerful computer is to only use software from back when cpu speed, memory and disk space were treated as precious. (slaps lid of macbook with 8GB ram and 512GB ssd) this bad boy can fit sooo many serious 1990's productivity apps in it‬
