Do you use Docker? I had a 16gb Mac a while ago and I had to debug half our code on a metered EC2 because my Docker VM would OOM every time I tried running it, even with everything else closed.
When I hear the "professional development on 8gb Mac" line I typically imagine SaaS webdev or Swift/Applescript writing. Trying to imagine the monorepos I've worked on running on a base Macbook Air... unless you're using it as an SSH frontend I don't think you'd be very productive.
- internetter 2y agoI edited this comment to say colima. Colima is running a few containers that replicates our prod. We do use slim images, but why wouldn't we. > Swift/Applescript writing You dramatically underestimate the resources required to run Swift. I'm also developer license holder, and XCode brings the laptop to its knees. It is usable, but "XCode developers" are one of the small groups of people for who I'd recommend a ram upgrade.
