A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.
Bucha Bull to me.

Aren’t people basically already doing this? There are lots of people who only have their phone and maybe a tablet, and for basically everything that might actually require computing power (i.e. photo editing) they end up using a web app or something.
Yeah, web apps are like that, that’s why I’m dropping them (alongside with Electron apps) as soon as possible. Currently in the process of writing a DAP plugin for KATE, so I can have a nice GUI debugger on Linux without having to use VSlop Code.
What’s wrong with VSCode? There’s an open source version (codium) which works just as well for me.
Tried it, still has the pitfalls of many Electron apps.
I’m also using codium, can you say what the problems with electron apps are? Other than some dependency issues I ran into (but I was on Arch so it was probably my fault), I don’t know about problems with electron.
Electron apps consume a lot of RAM and CPU clockcycles relative to native apps. Less annoying on a fast desktop PC, but moreso on a laptop, especially less powerful ones.
