Software dev.. usually have one or more DBs and/or services containerized, vm or direct running at once. Mainly it's a matter of the number of background processes that will run as intently as the front/dev side depending on what I'm doing.

I also have multiple SSDs and an NVMe I recently put in... that seems to have made the most difference. I'm running 32GB ram now, and don't tend to bump into that as a limitation.
