I did an EE degree first, then CS; I like EE and I enjoy the tinkering. My father taught me electronics since I was young (5) and I always like the smell of soldering and my hands have many battle scars. However, cs always paid so much more

I exchanged my 8gb air for 16gb and it's perfect. Really cannot get it bogged down. Definitely now that most things are Apple Silicon compiled; before that it was a bit more problematic.
