I am currently using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), and am running: a Docker VM, IntelliJ IDEA (two instances, one large and one medium Java project), Slack, Safari, Chrome, iTerm configured with unlimited screen buffer, a VPN, Dropbox, Fantastical, Backblaze, 1Password, and a few other things.
For memory, I've got 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Activity Monitor is happily green, and shows me that 11.57GB of my 16.00 GB of memory is used, with 3.18 GB of cache.
I used to run into trouble with "memory pressure," but switching to Safari instead of Chrome eliminated all of that. I have 21 tabs open in Safari, only Gmail open in Chrome.
I'm sure I could come up with some combination of things that would strain the 16 GB I currently have. I might have to work at it a bit, though, and I think by most of the definitions I've seen in this thread, I should be screaming about the limitation.
If I ever hit the yellow zone with memory again, I'll just quit Chrome.
