Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026 (www.windowslatest.com)

If it worked out, the idle Windows 11 RAM usage would’ve been around 4.8GB

Me on beefy Linux distro with a metric ton of garbage installed: 3.2GB

Good luck vibe coding memory efficiency...

    Copilot. Make no mistakes and be efficient with memory usage.

    Our Microslop overlords have said that I do, so I guess I do? I don't know. Hand on. I'm asking Copi--- I mean... I'm thinking...

    is it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?

    Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

    ok. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?

    Probably not but maybe. It's a gamble that I'm guessing most MBAs would love to make!

    i guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.

    Good luck with that if it's being vibe coded.

    i don't think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
