I am using the Pro version, "MacBook Pro M2 24GB 13-inch 2022". Backend and frontend mostly, several docker containers running constantly, several chrome and firefox instances with about 10s of tabs opened, DB tools (pgAdmin etc). All of this works great, battery life ~5 hours when doing heavy work, fans very very rarerly turning on, maybe few times over the last 10 months I was using it.

One issue I experience is that "Virtual Machine Service for Docker" is consistently sitting at 6gb ram. I am running in "linux/amd64" mode as I had some compatibility issues.

Another issue is that for some reason WebStorm sometimes works much worse than on linux which I used before the mac. As if WebStorm completely turns off some features (highlight, typechecking...) from time to time.

>I am running in "linux/amd64" mode as I had some compatibility issues.

we were having the same issue at work, and one of the solutions was move as many images to arm64 as possible.

so, things like postgresql, rabbitmq, redis are quite safe. it made development a lot faster and it was using a lot less memory.

the other thing was doing work on making sure our microservices were also arm64 compatible, which was not that hard given we mainly use python.
