I'd like to buy a new M1 Pro or M1 Max MB but I'd like to know if anyone here thinks it will solve my programming issue. I currently have a Macbook Air 2020 (Intel) and I have a fairly large Angular/.Net Core app. Now that the app is large when I start up the Angular server (>ng serve) and start writing code, with every change I make the compiler runs and re-compiles, ok, I think that's normal right? And this will kick the fan on after a while. BUT in most typical daily usage, I also start my debugger (the app opens in Chrome) and I can set breakpoints and make a change and the browser will reload/re-compile with every change as well.

PROBLEM - The C# extension that I installed to give me C# intellisnese and other color coding features starts to blow up if I make certain changes to certain files or code areas (ex. automapper library). I can see the process (mono) running at 120+% and sometimes it doesn't stop or slow down. My temp solution is if I make a change to any automapper code and and the fans start to kick in and the C# extension process 'mono' starts to blow up I just close VS Code and reopen. :(

QUESTION - Will buying one of these new MB Pro's with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max help with this issue?

FYI - I've searched far and wide for answers to figure out what is causing the extension to blow up and the only answer I can find are that there might be an issue with child entities that are nullable, which I have. But basically if I have a large project the extension has a lot of work to do so I S.O.L.

Post Script - maybe I'm not using the tool (VS Code) correctly to write and edit code always having the node server running and usually but not always having the debugger running while I edit code???

sorry not used to angular thing. but normal .net core 5 no problem . I do see some weird .net core 5 don't changed on the spot upon edit so you need to run again and again.. even html changed also not effected.
