    They don't know how to manage their systems well, so money spent on hardware is better than money and energy spent in troubleshooting their issues

    In my company we all have 16GB laptops except those who have to work with Android Studio who go their RAM bumped to 32GB for some reason

    Can you just place an order for more ram and see what happens? It's so cheap that it might just go through no questions asked.

    Our manager buys all our machines with 32gb for the devs. Not sure about the rest of the company. Running out of ram would be a hidden cost that could quickly overcome the cost of the ram in the first place.

    Less than 32 GiB would be sad for me.

    Database makes nomnomnom.

    Every time I see someone complain about RAM, I am instantly possessed by the ghost of some engineer from the 60-70s with 256KB storage and 4KB RAM saying "Back in my day, you entitled brats..."

    Rather evolution of hardware and thus possibilities.

    Complexity is just a side effect imho.
