> slack uses enough memory to power a spaceship...

Which spaceship though? Not sure spaceship is the model you're looking for, as all of the ones I'm familiar have had a very locked down limited amount of memory. Apollo had something like 4Kb of memory. The space shuttle had 1MB.

Yes you're correct. It seems like you got my point though.

Slack often uses more memory than my IDE + compilers combined, to display the chat history of 60 people.

Yeah... it almost seems like a brag instead of an insult. I wish my programs used only enough memory to power a spaceship!
