50K context is an interesting number because I think there's a lot to explore with software within an order of magnitude that size. With apologies to Richard Feynman, I call it, "There's plenty of room in the middle." My idea there is the rapid expansion of computing power during the reign of Moore's law left the design space of "medium sized" programs under-explored. These would be programs in the range of 100's of kilobytes to low megabytes.
