That's okay for now. Until let's say majority of apps run on Electron. What's gonna be left for memory then.

- bobwaycott 9y agoThat's when it's time to push users to get more RAM as the solution to their problems. EDIT: /s
- flukus 9y agoIt's amazing how disconnected developers are when it comes to RAM, the steam user survey (http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey) puts 30% at having 4GB or less, and that's an audience that trends towards the higher end. For all the complaints of the mac book pro not having enough RAM, it had enough for 99.9% of people.
- Hydraulix989 9y agoAt the time, it seemed silly that I maxed out my laptop with 64 GB of RAM, but now, I'm starting to feel like it was good foresight.
- dirtylowprofile 9y agoDude, I live in a third world where upgrading specs in a computer is really an after thought. As a developer, you should also think other parts of the world. I'm just saying. Majority of the laptops sold here has an average RAM of 4-8GB.
- flukus 9y agoThat's basically the same as the first world, plenty still have less then 4GB.
- bobwaycott 9y agoI was not being serious. I was speaking to exactly this problem. Even in the US, the vast majority of users aren't running top-of-the-line developer machines. I find the utter disregard for user resources to be a serious problem with today's developers.
- Hydraulix989 9y agoRight, and when I'm a developer with a high end workstation laptop having resource problems, you can guarantee most users are going to have problems.
