What I'm getting at is: unlike running LLMs, 3D modeling, rendering 8K video, or similar tasks, there's nothing inherent to working with html and javascript that demands such huge amounts of memory. Editing a few hundred (even a few thousand) lines of code is not a memory-intensive task. The only reason we are in this current sorry state of affairs is because They(tm) have decided that the proper way to deploy apps is to ship it atop an entire Chrome instance, itself being a notorious resource hog. The web sucks. Desktop apps are now just web apps, and they also suck. It didn't have to be this way.
