About the same for me... 8 gb was often too little even 10 years ago but for what I do these days 16 is always more than enough.

16 not enough here: I'm closer to 20-24 because mostly of lots of browser tabs and switching between projects, rarely because of heavy stuff. 32 would be comfortable today, and 64 would be future-proof (my 16GB is 6 years old now and I plan to keep the next one as long!).

Alright, I have ~120 browser tabs open in FF but most are hibernated. Sometimes I open a lot of tabs in another browser for... ehm... other reasons... Never a problem. And no loading of huge projects in vim. MBP 16"

At least we can agree that 8 isn't enough :D

I'm closing my tabs rather often.

I'm getting the heebie-jeebies when I have too many open.
