I’m running an 8Gb MacBook Air. This replaced my 32Gb i5 Mac mini. And it’s fine. I don’t hit any memory pressure. To do this I accept two compromises: no virtual machines, light weight editor (vim). The VMs I spin up when I need them in the cloud. Turns out this works out better than it did before anyway. No fan grinding away and I’ve got a laptop again finally which doesn’t singe my genitals. I was running vscode with no problems as well but found some annoying bugs so went back to vim which has served me well for 20 years now.
