I picked up the new 2018 Air right after the redesign, 16gb and 512 ssd model. I have had no problems with xcode doing iOS dev (even using simulator on occasion), vscode and nodejs/redis/mysql working fine, also no problems running windows in parallels desktop, it’s super fast and quiet!

Great machine, only wish I had waited for the true tone and keyboard redesign but those are minor, have grown to love the keyboard.

Same here. No problems doing development. The Achilles' heel? Work conferencing with Google Meet. Kills the poor machine.

I did the same but got 32GB. It is a fantastic machine, but it is even better with the blackmagic eGPU. Heavy recommend on that if considering a home dock setup.
