Honestly, haven’t had any issues with the M2 air, can handle most loads nicely. Fan is only helpful if you’re building more locally, thanks to cloud builds, hardly get the cpu stressed.

However more memory is always good, opt for the 16 gigs at least

I have burnt my fingers with MBA in the past. They work fine for 2-3 years but aren’t anywhere close to MBP on terms of durability. MBPs are the real deal(lasts for 4-5 years).
