Oh no no, don't get me wrong, I meant the project, not the IDE. 😜
For example, I worked for some companies that were building systems for government and other companies as well, however, some projects were so badly designed that spending RAM with an IDE would seem like luxury. Because the problems were so deeply rooted that we couldn't fix it in time without breaking the entire schedule, we just kept on doing what we could, sometimes just running the system from command line in order to save RAM that would be used by IDE's to prevent a full machine freeze because Swap memory was close to 100% usage. 😱😱
That's one of the symptoms of technical debt

Wow! That really surprised me, you got on an almost full-CLI mode for performance. That's precious advice not only for old machines that lack performance, but also for really bad designed projects that have dozens of memory leaks and zero optimization, where you have to reserve a big fraction of the computer resources for that hungry system and avoid freezes and lags in order to keep your own sanity.
