I just heard of the term "frugal tech", meaning tech that's doing more with less. It's used today in an Guardian article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... innovation by Eleanor Drage, and it paints a picture of big tech being shiny and enriching the wealthy against what she calls "frugal tech" being “needs-driven, scrappy, on location, iterative, practical, mundane”. I wished I had come up with this term before posting this, the title would have been "Why not frugal the specs overkill, what's the real practical use of it?"
