You shouldn't _have_ to care but the reality is, if you use your systems and chrome eats 4GB+, then you do care. Chrome regularly consumes a major percentage of my available RAM and I have 32GB.

isnt that why you have ram? to use it?
Yes but not for google apps, slack and a browser full of bloat. I have all this RAM for the actual engineering I do.
