I don’t think “parsimonious” means what you think it does
In the context of software engineering, it was intentional and precise. "Efficient" would be a apt synonym as well, but doesn't capture the gist, IMHO.
It's referring to the type of person who will solve a problem simply and elegantly (a la: KISS, DRY, SOLID principles). This is someone who, let's say, thoughtfully avoids the temptation to over-engineer around problems that don't exist. Maybe it's a euphemistic alternative to the "lazy programmer is the best programmer" cliche?

Ah, I gotcha. I wasn’t aware of the meaning in a programmer’s context.
Apologies.
