Memory can get eaten up pretty quickly between IDEs, containers, and other dev tools. I have had a combination of a fairly small C++ application, clion, and a container use up more than 32GB when combined with my typical applications.

I just built a new PC with 64GB for just this reason. With my workloads, the 32GB in my work laptop is getting cramped. For an extra $150 I can double that and not worry about memory for the next several years
