@thirstybear I used PyCharm on my MacBook Air M1, and it was wonderful.

That is until I started using Docker. THAT got that thing WARM!

@_chrismay Heh! Good point. I use Docker quite a bit 🙂

@thirstybear what are you building? If it’s Java or Kotlin you should be fine. If it is Scala it might get a bit warm. The real challenge will be those Teams calls of course.

With MBA my biggest question would be about RAM. How much? What are you running in local containers? Running a server in VMWare + JetBrains might tax your RAM.

Attempting to local LLM work will tax your RAM

Otherwise likely good.
