    Applications these days have no respect for a computer's limited resources:

    - Chat apps consume 0.5GB RAM (e.g. Messenger)
    - IDEs take 5GB of space and consume 4+ GB of RAM (e.g. Rider)
    - A VS Code for a tiny F# project eats 1 GB of RAM

    And then there's #Emacs which consumes 200MB after 1 month...

    I guess most people don't really care about this, as long as they have the resources needed, but it always bothers me.
