That 10GB monster starts loading all its enterprise features, designer tools, and seventeen billion extensions while your RAM screams for mercy. By the time it finishes launching, you could have rewritten your entire codebase in assembly, learned Rust, and developed a mild caffeine addiction. And God help you if you're on a laptop that's more than 2 years old - might as well go make a sandwich and contemplate your life choices.
