  As a web developer… what?? If your website needs 8GB on the client to run there are serious, deeply ingrained problems with your front end. I recent scoffed at coworkers who wanted 8GB to just one instance of the web server.

    8GB wouldn’t be one site, but between the OS & a couple of bloated sites 8GB is easy to hit.

      Exactly. I am not a heavy user but occasionally I need to multitask a bit. I upgraded from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back because with 4 open workspaces, a browser in each one plus an email client, signal, a couple libreoffice apps open, and my notes app, it was having to use enough swap space that I noticed the performance hit. A small number of very light users might be ok with 8gb, but most will likely have issues.

      I have 13 tabs open over two browsers (Safari and Firefox) and a text editor open on my Mac and I’m using 1.82GB
