8GB vs 16GB for M1 Mac — The TRUTH About RAM!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8KjSH7Hok

I wrote five years ago that 8 GB of RAM would not be adequate in five years. Some people disagreed. Things haven't changed a whole lot except that Apple has come up with more powerful processors. In the last six years, I have upgraded to a newer Intel-based iMac three times! I currently have 16G of RAM. My previous computers had 40 GB, 32 GB, and 24GB. I keep going down, but just like five years ago, 16 GB seems to do the job. I believe that for the software development I am learning, 8GB would be a bottleneck.
