Electron Devs Be Like

Electron apps are basically web apps wrapped in Chromium, which means they bundle an entire browser just to run what could've been a simple native app. The result? Your "lightweight" text editor somehow needs 8GB of RAM just to display a blinking cursor.

So when Micron announces a 512GB RAM stick, Electron developers see it as a challenge rather than overkill. "Reality can be whatever I want" perfectly captures their attitude—why optimize your app when users can just download more RAM? Discord, Slack, VS Code... they're all sitting there like Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, casually consuming resources that would make a 2010 operating system weep.

The real kicker? By 2027 when these 512GB sticks are available, Electron apps will probably have evolved to need exactly 513GB.
