That's tough, my judgement is a bit off at times because while I am a developer I also play video games and edit videos occasionally (So for the things I want to do 4GB is low, but good enough for the most important thing I do: mostly programming).
Yup, I was thinking the same! Something in the lines of dual-core cpu below 2ghz, <4gb ddr3 ram, low capacity 5400rpm hdd and some integrated graphics...
I would say, try to code on a rapsberry pi 2b+, with desktop mode. But fine if you can think of an older platform under pc, like a core2duo (because early "i" series is still perform well). Or an ultra version of low-end cpu. Imho.

What specs would be considered low in 2020?

It really depends, ballpark for me is <4GB RAM.

This is the precise spec of the pc I use for Web dev
Sadly I'm using a notebook with similar specs.... work gets tedious.
