Yeah. I suspect most people here are software engineers (or related) and IDEs, Docker, and VMs are all standard tools in the SE toolbox. If they aren't using Docker or VMs, then they are probably doing application development, which is also pretty damn RAM hungry.

I do most of my development in Chrome, bash, and sublime text and I'm still using 28GB of RAM.
