Getting a fully decked out developer machine every 2-3 years is stingy? Fuck me, the kids are even more spoiled than I thought.
I'm running on a 2017 MacBook Pro with 16GB ram, and I can still run everything without problems. Local database servers, multiple IDEs, Microsoft Teams (which is a resource hog) and even a Windows VM.
You want a free upgrade every year? Do you upgrade your personal desktop tower or laptop every year?
