I'll admit I don't use Macs, so maybe they are more efficient than the Linux and windows machines I work off...

...but I typically use machines with 64GB and recently upgraded my personal machine to 128GB. I still swap about 50GB to my SSD from time to time.

And I'm not doing heavy graphic design or movie editing stuff.

I cannot fathom for the life of me how 8GB would ever be feasible.

How the fuck are you using that much ram of you aren't doing "heavy duty" stuff????

For me, it's huddle (the conf call thing of slack), zoom, and a few Google sheets. Very easy to get to OOM killer
