This tangentially reminds me that when I landed my first software development job I had just a 10in 1gb netbook. It was a remote gig where I supplied my own equipment, so right before I started I got the Acer C720 (4gb ram and added a bigger ssd) and put Ubuntu on it. Luckily I did mostly backend then. Most the frontend devs seemed to need 16gb to spin up Vagrant and all the webpack watch tasks etc. Edit: not to say that was the way they should have been doing things, haha.
