#Discord uses #ElectronJS. That explains *so* much, like why it eats up like 300 MB just idling in the background. Remember when MSN Messenger used just 6 MB of memory *and* it could handle voice and video chat? Such is the modern era of unmitigated #codebloat.

Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

Opinion: Maybe the answer to soaring RAM prices is to use less of it

🤖 Oh, look! Another breathless attempt to replace human intelligence with a "cutting-edge" open-source AI that probably spends more time surfing GitHub than solving problems. 🌊 Meanwhile, developers pretend they're not just adding more bloat to their codebase while convincing themselves that this is the future of programming. 🙄

Công cụ AI hỗ trợ code giúp tăng tốc độ, nhưng có thể làm phình to codebase! 🤯 Một lập trình viên nhận thấy code trở nên nặng nề hơn, nhiều đoạn code bị trùng lặp, thiếu tính module sau khi sử dụng các công cụ như Cursor, Claude, Copilot. Refactor một feature do AI tạo ra giúp giảm từ 300 dòng xuống còn 70 dòng. Liệu đây là vấn đề không thể tránh khỏi khi dùng AI coding tools? 🤔
