Like not having enough or managing the memory you do have?

I’d say that garbage collection was key to large scale software reuse as if you didn’t have garbage collection you’d have to have a lot of cooperation between libraries and applications (how does the application know the library doesn’t need a piece of memory or vice versa?)

I guess a bit of both. Managing memory itself is not that interesting as it is just mostly a nice shotgun to shoot yourself in the foot with. I just like the idea of working in a more limited environment where I am forced to come up with perhaps more novel solutions than what my job is now which is just stiching together random libraries and creating unnecessarily complicated SQL queries.
