My workstation is an 11" Macbook Air, and has been for years. For what I do -- mostly Ruby, some C, some shell -- it's perfect. I fullscreen everything, and switch between apps with cmd-tab. I avoid or have disabled most macOS GUI features. 4 cores is fine. 8GB is fine, though having a couple hundred open tabs in Safari slows things down a tad. If I need to do something requiring more screen space, like an InDesign layout or a SketchUp design, I just cable up an external monitor & keyboard. Simple, straightforward, no stress.
