I’m new to iOS app development, will the MacBook Air m1 base model suit my needs? (self.programming)

I’m not sure if the base model is enough or not. Anyone have experience?

Over time the 8GB of RAM on base model might start frustrating you. You'll also be wearing the ssd with all the swapping.

The base M1 chip itself is great. Just get the extra RAM. You can't upgrade RAM or storage after the fact.

I guess it’s one of those things that can’t be helped. I might as well save my money for a bit longer and upgrade to 16 GB and 512GB
