Not everyone can upgrade their RAM without switching to new hardware, and the company's probably not going to invest in that across their entire dev team just to accommodate one new internal app unless it's truly mission-critical. And heck, Mac laptops still max out at 16GB.
And it's not just RAM. Electron rendering is slowwwww.
- brudgers 9y agoI don't disagree that there may be a hardware upgrade. My point is that without running numbers increasing development, maintenance, and risk in order to "save RAM" is dogma not engineering. Rendering speed is just one consideration. That's why Slack.
- cimmanom 9y agoThat may be. But there's also no point in building something at all if your target audience's hardware won't run it or if it'll slow those machines to a crawl. There's a decent chance that the OP has no power over the pursestrings that would need to be opened for a hardware upgrade.
