Electron: The RAM Devouring Monster

Electron is the JavaScript framework that thinks your 128GB of RAM is a personal challenge. The tweet shows task manager with memory usage at 95% with almost 80GB consumed by a single app.

Chrome: "I'm the memory hog!"
Electron: "Hold my node_modules folder."

Nothing says "modern development" quite like needing server-grade hardware to run a glorified text editor. Eight years of optimization work and it still treats RAM like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
