I wonder if the reason mine never produces any heat is because I use it as a 2500 dollar Slack and Outlook machine. Any true dev work takes place on my Thinkpad running Endeavor. Also Slack is like the poster child for Javascript tech debt because it was written in Electron. It'll run literally anywhere, but make you wish it didn't because it'll hoard your system's resources like a fucking dragon. Damn thing is bloated as hell and it won't even let you schedule statuses in case you're out of office for specific hours on set days. We should all go back to IRC. It's not pretty, but at least you can automate shit on IRC without having to beg a third party company like Slack for an API token and without taking up 14 gigs of RAM in order to render a clown emoji.
Fuck Slack
