This is as someone who used to weigh around 255 and now weighs around 170.
The more fit you are, the more comfy fitted/tailored apparel tends to be.
If you are atypically shaped due to various fat deposits, tailored clothing becomes more difficult to get just right in order to not pinch/restrict you in all the wrong places.

The contrast is quite stark.

Unfortunately not everyone cares about resilience and certain performance thresholds when it comes to construction, especially when budgets become involved.
Some customers will are happy to cheap out for a hack-job remodel in the hopes that they can flip their home and run off before the bagholder realizes they got a lemon.

Unfortunately when tool use is mandated without applying critical thinking, it often results in a great deal of waste. Mandated collaboration is also very susceptible to abuse as it typically provides an additional layer of obfuscation to shield low performing leechers.
High school group projects dialed up to 11.

That project used to have a bug with their multithreading implementation where if your photo sets got too big children threads would terminate but fail to get reaped and your heap size would just continue to grow until things kaboomed at the SfM phase.
Not entirely their fault though as it stemmed from a deeper issue with Python stdlib's pool implementation.
Back then, with certain photosets I would literally run OOM on my homelab which was equipped with 128 GB DDR4
Should be fixed by now though.
You wouldn't happen to work for a small MPLS based startup would you?

my bad
But being poor DOES mean lowered efficiency with respect to an astonishing number of steps involved to achieve the desired outcome.
And when you have enough of these lowered efficiencies at one time and they begin to compound like interest...
Not always a pretty picture.
