You can think of it in even broader terms: being/staying lean, re-using tried and tested things, adapting your requirements to widely available solutions rather than developing custom solutions to fit your requirements, making everything work more efficiently, etc -- all those resource-minimization issues are "less" problems: not good problems to be working on when your raison d'être is "more" -- and that's the only raison d'être for a lot of people and actually for all businesses. (Obviously there are also specialists for doing "less" "more": unsurprisingly, they are generally paid a cut of savings.)
