I like mine for studying and coding. I used it all throughout college and still use it for part of my work. I prefer VS Code, but Xcode and PyCharm also worked out fine on my MacBook Air.

Which macbook do u have?

16 is must . I have an m2 8gb and if I open Xcode my laptop feels like it’s gonna burn a hole in the desk

As long as it's an M chip - yes. Try getting one with 16GB RAM too.
