To be fair, you don't need RAM to code - modern CPUs have ~5MB of cache and that's enough for an entire Lisp machine.

Also, let's be real here: any computer from the last 40 years is enough to code on, as is any RasPi or knockoff (or with a bit more than zero effort/expertise, basically any system that can run Doom, which is basically any system). The most expensive parts are the screen, keyboard and mouse.

    For compiling it might make a bit of a difference, doesn't it? Even so, yes, you can probably get some 200 EUR Mini PC and have already way more than you need.
