Haha! I sort of need this. It's amazing how the only time I realize I have a runaway process is if my laptop heats up.
It's truly incredible how much serious heavy work I do on a "little" M1 Air.
MySQL and Postgres, Redis, Sidekiqs, Mailcatcher (small, but still), a couple of Rails apps, Spotify, Spark mail app, Firefox with dozens of tabs, Safari, Calendar, Photos in the background hopefully identifying faces, etc. etc.
I do three times as much on this machine as I could do on my 32GB i7 Dell. There's some magic in here.
I still cannot build some older versions of libraries. So I do a little of my work on an old Intel Mac. But that's not the architecture problem, that's a problem of fragile builds.
I thought this Air would be a placeholder until the M1 MBP, but unless you need a real GPU, I find this more than good enough. I won’t need to upgrade.
