And we live in times where developers no longer really care about being conservative of RAM and CPU because systems have plenty anyway :/

I still don't understand why people use the Slack client rather than just having a tab open in the browser.

Absolutely agree but why would they? Ram is cheap.

Slack notifications in browser are not that reliable as in desktop client.

RAM isn't cheap when you need to keep adding it because you want to run more than 4 processes on your system.

I don't use any kind of notifications except for confirmed meetings. I've got work to do and that works better without things screaming for attention :p
