Who restarts their IDE all the time?

I take more than that to fetch a coffee down the kitchen area.

Depends which IDE. IntelliJ stays open permanently. When I used full-fat visual studio it would crash so often that I’d have developed an even worse caffeine problem had I fetched coffee every time it needed restarting.

Is this the reason why people say that 8gb is not enough for writing some code?

  • Nah, Electron is the reason, my first real IDEs were the whole suite of Borland IDEs for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x.
