- A web browser with many open tabs.
- An audio player
- A few code editors / IDE
- A chat / video conference software since COVID-19
- An email client once in a while that I tend to leave open
- Various development tools
- The software stack of my company for development in a Linux VM
Fair, my setup is almost identical, except I also do some video editing and I have been very happy with the 16GB MBP 13" (coming from a 32GB MBP 16"). So maybe consider trying to swap your 8GB for a 16GB before thinking you absolutely need 32GB.
