what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Find which lines of code in a Python script use the most memory.

VIBE 2

Discover a program is accidentally loading an entire file into memory instead of processing it in chunks.

VIBE 3

Profile memory usage of data-heavy scripts interactively inside Jupyter or IPython.

VIBE 4

Set a memory threshold that drops you into a debugger to hunt down leaks.
