Honestly, I think it depends on what kind of languages/frameworks/tools you use. Go is very lightweight, and you can safely run hundreds of Go services under 16 GB no problem (and with a crappy CPU, too). Python/Java/PHP etc. on the other hand, are much more wasteful. Our Go shop only now is considering maybe buying 32GB dev machines...
