I used 8GB for YEARS. Docker stack, python/MySQL, node, etc. I recently got a new laptop with 4x faster processor and 64GB RAM (just had to have it.) My experience is speedy sure yet blah. I passed up a slightly slower lighter model with less ram (granted we’re talking about 40GB now) yet charged with 65w USB-C and 12 hour battery (rather than ~8hr and conventional charger.) I only wish I payed a little MORE for the 12 hour battery and less RAM! 8GB is fine! Don’t put yourself out for more RAM unless that is what you need.
