I'm doing a chunk of work at the moment that occasionally takes me >32GB on my dev machine (which has 64GB) so I'm glad I didn't cheap out on that. 32GB->64GB isn't exactly £££ (it's what? ~£70?). If I ever get close to needing more than 64GB then I can just upgrade the motherboard and slap in another 32GB or 64GB.
My main workstation (a laptop) currently sits at ~18GB (which is fine as it has 32GB), but a large chunk of that remaining 14GB is given over to caching frequently used files (and memory is faster than NVMe, which is faster than bog standard SSD, which is considerably faster than spinning rust).
The only spinning rust I have is in the NAS.
Indeed I was surprised when I got my new dev box as it's a medium sized tower that's pretty much empty. Motherboard, RAM, NVMe are all tiny, and there's just a big chunky CPU cooler and a bunch of fans.
