Thanks for this pointer and explanation, I appreciate it.

Also my "dev enviornment" is vi -- I come from infosec (so basically a glorified sysadmin) so I'm mostly making little bash and python scripts, so I'm learning a lot of new things about software engineering as I explore this space :-)

Edit: Hey which of the models on that page were you referring to? I'm grabbing one now that's apparently double digit GB? Or were you saying they're not CPU/ram intensive but still a bit big?
