I have iterm2 open right now with Claude in a long session and it's only using 500MB of memory.

  Only 500MB! you are confirming their point even as you contradict the specifics

    And highlighting a disconnect in the developer community. Some of us are okay with unnecessary overhead for quick results. I always felt gross dealing with Electron apps, but they're popular for a reason.

      But each day now that overhead becomes more costly as AI drives up the very cost per byte of RAM.
    • verdverm 4mo ago
      they make one of those electron apps too

    Yeah. Bonkers considering the brain of the application isn’t even on your device.

    Followup: I closed out Claude completely, iterm2 completely. Reopened iterm2, and it appears iterm2 is using about 500MB of memory. So this has nothing to do with Claude Code CLI.
