True. My very first summer job, working for my father, was to add a printer subsystem for the POS system we were building. We had a total of 16k of EEPROM, not expandable, and that was mostly already full. I pretty much had to invent refactoring from first principles (with some suggestions from Dad, of course), just to clear enough space to get the job done.
Fun times: it was my first experience of "they didn't tell me it was impossible when I got the assignment"...
