I’ve hit limitations of M1 Max pros all the time (generally memory and cpu speeds while compiling large c++ projects)

Airs are good for the general use case but some development (rust, C++) really eat cores and memory like nothing else.

What are your specs?

That does seem to fit the bill though of being more of a niche use case for which MBPs will be best suited for going forward.

Seems like most devs who are not on rust/c++ projects will be just fine with an Air equipped with enough memory.
