Just looking at my bin/ folder eg `k9salpha - a relatively simple curses app - 56MB argocd - a cli for magaging argocd - 155MB`

It's like what, $0.01 per GB these days? I bought a 2 TB NVMe for Linux 4 years ago, on which I also game, and it's 50% full.

Disk space hasn't been a serious concern in two decades.
