So apparently launching a text editor in 2014 triggered a decade-long domino effect that's now DEVOURING all our RAM like some kind of Chrome-powered black hole. Thanks, Electron! Who knew that wrapping every single app in an entire Chromium browser would have consequences? Remember when 8GB was considered "enthusiast tier"? Now it's barely enough to run Slack, VS Code, and maybe—MAYBE—a browser with three tabs open before your computer starts making sounds like a jet engine preparing for takeoff. The prophecy has been fulfilled: every app is now secretly a web browser in a trench coat, and your RAM is paying the price. The real tragedy? We can't even be mad because these Electron apps are genuinely useful. We're just... stuck watching our memory usage climb while muttering "it was better in the terminal days" like grumpy old devs.
