Running HipChat, Slack, and Sqwiggle concurrently can kill you with memory shortage

We’re migrating our internal chat tool from HipChat to Slack, and starting today we’re also introducing Sqwiggle for a remote work trial period, so I have three apps running concurrently.

Private group chat, video chat, instant messaging for teams – HipChat

Slack: Be less busy

With a MacBook Air (8GB memory), the memory shortage is painful, so I want to quickly migrate to Slack. (I’ll do it for my own sake too)

And I’m sincerely waiting for the arrival of a MacBook Air with 16GB memory.

That’s all from the Gemba.
