Fuck Electron. I hate that current trend. I like my long battery life and being able to run more than 3 applications on my MacBook Pro.

I will always use the example of how I subscribed to Spotify for a couple months back in 2015 and realized that the app constantly sat at the top of the Using Significant Energy list on my mac and was the reason the fan was so loud. I switched away to Apple Music for that sole reason. iTunes by comparison was very power efficient. It plays music for gods sake. How can you fail at playing music that badly.

For some reason Spotify is even worse than the average electron app. Back when I still had only 16GB of ram (and worked on this same project), running out of ram would cause some random app to close. If I had Spotify open, it would freeze the whole system instead.
