I take it you’ve never worked in a MASSIVE enterprise solution, then. I believe OC meant heavy in the sense that it uses more resources than a similar IDE would. Idk who you run into, but pretty much every dev I know is a gamer/builds their own pc. I’ve gotten into debates about which CPU is better than another for specific tasks. I don’t know a single dev who doesn’t know how to install an os.
I… don’t know what kind of junior devs fresh out of freshman CS classes you’ve been meeting, but that’s an incredibly reductive and insulting generalization to make. I don’t even… The VAST MAJORITY of devs don’t know how to install an os? Or what hardware they have? If you work in a large enough solution and don’t know how much RAM you have, then you aren’t complaining to management enough. We finally got them to upgrade us to 32gb, and most of us are already begging for 64. I would also prefer if we split the solution out into multiple solutions personally, but I doubt that will happen soon.
