3 things:

1. I did not assert that “not having something is correct”
2. You don’t need a forge for bug trackers and PR reviews (note: I also did not assert they are not needed or useful, either in my previous message or in this one)
3. If something is required, it cannot be taken away without making the software less perfect. Perfect software is as small as possible and no smaller (note: I also don’t believe perfect software exists, but there’s some that gets as reasonably close as realistically possible)

Please note also, that I responded to a very specific part that I quoted, namely the fact that you need reasonably little to make good software. Everything else is not an assertion on my part, but an assumption on yours.

you really dont need a whole bunch to make good software.

Thank you. Louder for those in the back!

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away
