What kind of stupid world is it where 8GB of RAM is actually not enough? I'm not doing anything that fundamentally different to what I was doing 10 years ago, and back then 2GB was fine on the low end of things.
Because ram is incredibly cheap and developer hours are incredibly expensive. I think it’s a bit silly too but there’s just no financial incentive for companies to care about memory usage when they know most consumer devices have tons of extra headroom.
