lol, I'm sorry but no a 1GB machine will not cut it even for a hobby, never mind in a real business environment.

A good IDE like PhpStorm is going to use 1-2GB.

A browser will consume 1GB+. Want multiple browsers for testing? Add another few gigs.

Most devs now use a VM or container with PHP, MySQL, etc running inside it. Add at least 1GB, maybe 2GB.

You probably need Slack or HipChat running. 0.5GB to 1GB.

A mail client. 256MB+.

Your company probably has Office 365, so you'll need Outlook. 1GB+.
