An assumption I’ve been revisiting is if I really do need to be writing to disk all the time. I can’t remember the last time I actually had a crash or other event where I would have abruptly lost my work.
I’m wondering if I can completely hide away the detail where I can work exclusively in memory (even when I habitually save my code) and “reconcile” as some task I do before shutdown.
In fact, that doesn’t even feel necessary… I git push my day’s work a number of times. None of that needs a local disk. And 64GB of memory was surprisingly affordable.
