Another webdev here. My second dev machine has 8 GB RAM and works fine for my purposes. JetBrains IDE, MariaDB, Puma, browser.

Throwing in some more anecdata:

- 16GB MBP (Intel, not M1) - Running MacVim w/ coc.vim & coc-tsserver (so it's running partial TS compiles on save, much like VSCode)

- One image running in Docker

- Slack, Zoom (at idle), Safari (with a handful of tabs), and Mail.app running as well

Per Activity Monitor, 8.97GB of 16.00GB is used with 4.97GB marked as "Cached Files" and another 2.04GB of swap used.
