Extra RAM is always cool. I'm at a job now that has a shared dev environment powered by Docker. Our Monolith runs in about a dozen different containers. I have a 16GB M1 Pro, and performance is _okay_ giving it half of my resources. Had I known how this performs, I would have pushed for a 32GB machine. As is, if we continue to grow, things could get slow in another year or two.

Could we optimize the local stack more to use less resources? Probably, but it probably isn't worth our time. Until then, more RAM is good. There are plenty of users out there that have more needs than me. Giving them a solution to their problems is a step in the right direction.
