    I wonder how much of this is just modern web apps… even running without a containerized distro and a leaner DE - I still have +90% of my RAM taken up by websites.

      Modern UI development is such fucking shit. I have no idea why they went with all of these heavyweight shit frameworks.

          I thought part of the point was to have a website work more as an application: one update to a piece of information results in that information being near instantly updated across the site.

          Then I looked into the angular stuff the UI people were working on and yeah… something like 10 (costly) requests for the same exact fucking JSON. They were talking about doing caching on the frontend to optimize it. What are we even doing?!
