80% of my apps i use run on electron :D

So thats why people need more than 16GB of memory on their MacBook Pro.

A general rule I follow on my Mac to minimize memory and power consumption:

- Use Safari

- Avoid web based desktop app like Atom, Slack, etc.

- Limit maximum of 3 app open, e.g. Xcode + iTerm + Safari. Bonus: I can focus my mind on the things that I need to do.

- Limit maximum of 3 open tabs on my Safari.
