Is 6 GBs Enough GB?

6gbs-too-few-gbsLately, I have found myself asking the time old question 😉 :

Is 6 GB enough GB?

And of course, the answer is: No.

6 GB is too few GB for any software developer who values their time and sanity.

Oh, you want to open a browser AND your IDE?

No chance. Don’t be such a prima donna.

I know, I know, that’s a Windows memory indicator. That’s only adding to the problem 😉

But check out this nasty Ubuntu swappy leaky situation:

Every day I am mysteriously losing 500 or more MB to the Swap. It never comes back.

I have my suspicions that Firefox Developer Edition is to blame but that’s so far, just conjecture.
