Ha. Same here. My personal MBA M1/8GB just chugs along with whatever I need it to do. I have a T480 32GB linux machine at home that I love, but my M1 just does what I need it to do.

And at the shop we are doing technology refreshes for the whole dev team upgrading them to M4s. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade my M1 Pro to an M4, and I said no. Mainly because I don't want to have to move my tooling over to a new machine, but I am not bottlenecked by anything on my current M1.

Man, it's absolutely trivial to migrate your configurations to a new machine.

Oh I know. Just lazy and have other things to do than to migrate a machine.

I understand, it is that for me, as a hardware addict, it is almost personally offensive that someone would refuse an upgrade. I am unsettled and disturbed. :-D
