I Guess They Let The Intern Optimize The App
So Discord's brilliant solution to their memory leak problem is... turning it off and on again? REVOLUTIONARY! Instead of actually fixing why their app is devouring RAM like a starving hippo at an all-you-can-eat buffet, they just implemented a hard reset when it crosses 4GB. That's not optimization, that's just automated panic mode! It's like your car engine overheating, so instead of fixing the cooling system, you just install a mechanism that automatically turns the car off every time it gets too hot. Sure, technically it prevents the engine from exploding, but you're still stranded on the highway every 20 minutes. Genius engineering right there! Someone really looked at this memory leak, shrugged, and said "Have we tried just... restarting it?" And somehow that made it to production. The absolute audacity of calling this a "failsafe" when it's literally just admitting defeat to your own memory management.
