It seems to me that this website could be a completely static site that is automatically regenerated once a day with a new graph. Instead you seem to be succumbing to the exact same problem you are highlighting. This a good example of how the culture of software engineering is moving in the wrong direction. We need to all make a stand and say no more to this culture.

Of course, that’s made difficult by the fact it’s against our own collective interest. At this rate even the worst developers will be able to be employed managing some gargantuan and wholly unnecessary software stock.

Not to knock on you to much, but this culture of bloat reminds about the classic “Evolution of a Programmer” joke:

Let’s all try and be like the Guru Hacker, not the Seasoned Professional!
