How much RAM do you have in your dev workstation/laptop?

@foonathan @pervognsen just enough to compile hello world in C++

@pervognsen 16GB laptop, 256GB devserver. Not sure how to answer since I use both equally =)

Something that bothers me a lot in Python is not really Python's fault but when I use it and make a bug and my brain immediately goes

"Nye heh heh heh, if you just had a type system that wouldn't have happened!"

It's just really hard to argue with "this thing that would have otherwise stopped the build and told you to fix your shit is now a runtime error that manifests under specific conditions with a client" and it's just so much wasted comms 'n' work for an easily-caught problem.

This isn't meant to be type system propaganda or whatever, it just keeps smacking me in the face every time I go work in some dynamic language, and every time it just makes me mad. Like, yeah, I get it, I'm an idiot, but that's why we have the tool.

To cover me being stupid.
