Someone woke up and chose violence against Electron apps, and honestly? They're spitting facts. The rant reads like a manifesto written by someone who just watched Slack consume 4GB of RAM to display text messages. The whole "webapps were not supposed to have life-altering effects" bit hits different when you realize we're literally running entire operating systems inside Chrome just to display a to-do list. We went from "write once, run anywhere" to "download 300MB just to check your email." And that Telnet joke? Chef's kiss. Because apparently wrapping a website in Chromium and calling it "native" is somehow more secure than protocols from the 70s. At least Telnet was honest about its lack of security. The kicker is the "REAL Web Development" gaslighting at the end. Yeah, building a 500MB Discord client that's just a glorified browser wrapper is definitely what Tim Berners-Lee envisioned when he invented the web. We've been played harder than a fiddle at a bluegrass festival.
