Plus, it's bloat. A snippet of extra code isn't going to cause much trouble, but then you end up doing it a lot, and there's snippets in the snippets, and all the sudden something that used to fit on a floppy is 3 gigs.

I have no idea how much of a factor this is relative other various performance-sacrificing shortcuts, but Wirth's law is a thing.
