Well I could say that it isn't enough for vscode alone. And I'd be right. It all depends on how and what you use vscode for.

Fair enough; though experience says 8Gb will run VScode, it would very much depend on the use case, I agree. OTOH, I would argue that anyone working VScode that hard probably isn’t buying 8Gb machines, but OP did say they’re running it so it’s up for discussion.
