> I run on an M1 Max with 64gb of RAM and gave a lot of RAM to IntelliJ (Ultimate). It flies. As professionals we need to spend on our tools and on our hardware to get the most out of both. The problem with that is you'll more than likely create applications that work fine on your fancy high-end systems but end up unusably slow on normal people's hardware.

That's why we have software testers. Most of the stuff I build nowadays is server backend stuff and mobile. For server backend this runs on strong machines. No problem. For mobile I use a device. For desktop stuff we have a minimum machine which we test. Also IDE's have profilers integrated where you can see if you take up too much RAM or CPU. There's no need to suffer slow performance to create apps that run in constrained resources. You can have more than one computer too. Even as a one person shop.
