The eternal battle between developers and their RAM continues! This error message shows VS Code consuming a whopping 15GB of memory while Firefox has gone completely nuclear at 177GB.
What's happening behind the scenes? VS Code is built on Electron, which essentially bundles an entire Chromium browser with your text editor. Each extension adds another layer of JavaScript execution, slowly transforming your lightweight code editor into a RAM-devouring monster.
Meanwhile, Firefox has clearly transcended physical limitations by using more RAM than probably exists in the system. The irony is palpable - we're writing code to optimize memory usage while our tools are hoarding it like digital dragons.
