Ask HN: Is 16GB enough for Software Engineering (M1 13“ MacBook Pro)?

📰 Hacker News · romainpechayre

Apparently, the M1 chip does not support mort than 16GB or memory. https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/10/21559200/apple-m1-macbook-pro-mac-mini-16gb-ram-memory-limit Nowadays Google Chrome, VS Code, Slack and Notion are now eating 90% of the memory of my 16GB MacBook Pro. One reason to switch to a new laptop would be to upgrade to 32GB. This won't be possible for now with M1 macs. What do you guys think? Is 16GB reasonable today for average Software Engineering work? This seemed to me like a nice question for HN (Mac and Electron apps ranting welcome)
