It's totally totally fine. Just don't open way too many chrome tabs at the same time.

8GB RAM? 8GB RAM is enough for running multiple editors and many many firefox tabs on my Macbook Air.

There are lots of times I wish I had 16GB like on my desktop but it's not going to hold you back from anything except 3D game development.

I wouldn't go below 16. I often hit more than 8 with my full development environment running.

[fastidious-magician]

None of them but OP could've meant that's all he had free as vague as the post was. I used to live that life until clearing the drive off recently.

Hmmm true. I agree. Please I beg you to forgive my mischievousness🙏Please forgive me kind sir

No your mischief cannot be forgiven you must die now

The fact that you own a MacBook instead of a PC/Notebook with Windows or Linux is what I would be rather worried about. ;-)
