So I feel this article could be less, why developers need good machines, and more, why does Chrome eat every resource on my machine, and why it has changed the developer landscape.

Ahah so true 😂

I picked a few straw men culprits for the sake of getting a point across: Chrome and build times. For me the issue is actually Visual Studio with ReSharper, but that's less generally applicable.

Typically, developers are going to find ways to push their machines to the limits.
