In the thread “Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM”

Got in the way: AI did not clean up dev builds spun up for e2e testing.

It's crazy how much RAM electron needs, at my old startup the main product was an electron app, i initially used to run into this issue where AI wouldn't clean up the dev builds it spunned up for e2e testing and each could be over 500MB, it just get's to a point that the cross platform advantage is no longer worth it, i think it was one of the main reasons cursor had to move off electron to rust based builds.
