It’s a (not well executed) joke about electron’s memory consumption and how developers refuse to use anything better.

Aw! :(

For the record I like Electron a lot and am usually the one to defend it on HN, but it indeed was a comment on binary size, needless duplication and copy-paste culture ;)

I think the joke may be about binary size and not memory, which would make sense when talking about DNA.
