Literally every single Apple Silicon MacBook with 16 GB of RAM can easily run your IDE, one or two VMs and/or some containers, your messaging app of choice and your browser. That's more than enough for most dev jobs out there. If your job actually requires more RAM or CPU grunt, you'll probably know. SoC, RAM and storage upgrades are kind of expensive from Apple, so the base models are always the most cost effective.
