The suckless community was founded by Anselm R. Garbe from Germany in 2002.[citation needed] He became a vocal proponent of the suckless philosophy, saying that "a lot [of what] went wrong in the IT industry recently [...] be recognized in order to rethink the common practice, and perhaps to think about the time when Moore's law stops being a valid assumption."[1] The suckless manifesto deplores the common tendency for "complex, error-prone and slow software [that] seems to be prevalent in the present-day software industry", and argues that a programmer's performance should not be measured by the number of lines of code he writes.[4]
