Just started new job couple weeks ago.
As standard they do development work inside vm running on a box.
Since starting have been stuck on 8gb - they are going to get it to 16gb, but I can only question the logic of whomever ordered this new box.
Also, a lot of people don't seem to grasp the concept of dual/quad channel ram. 'one stick fine'.
Maybe, but you lose out a fair chunk bandwidth.
Then I discovered yesterday that they only have standard hard drives in these machines... Again, I can only question logic.
But the more I talk to devs here, the more I get the impression devs seem to know very little about hardware.
When they chuck more ram in today, it's a completely different dimm, so God knows how well that will go.
Is it standard for companies to just go for bare minimum? Or is it just down to a bit of ignorance?
