A luxury thanks to getting to keep a pretty beefy Macbook Pro from being laid off, combined with the magic of an M1 Air for all things music. Two different desks, two different chairs, different mindsets at each. Try it, seems inefficient until you ride the bike.

now that we have an office i'm just going to keep my old macbook pro there...but i also can't be fully computer-less at home so i copped a macbook air
this thing is tiny n' amazing. can't believe how far the air has come over the years. it's totally capable for developing and the battery life is unreal.

Based on your described workload, this configuration would more than accommodate you. RAM being the most important spec. And if you need it now, get it now. The M2 is great. You will not notice much benefit holding out for the M3.
Your bigger decision is screen size. Can you get by with 13inches or do you need the extra real estate of 15inches?
If you can get by with a smaller screen size, and you want to avoid dongle town, you could consider the the baseline M3 MacBook Pro (you do not need a pro or max chip) with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Splurge, it’s worth it. (If you’re a business owner, use Apple’s business department for discounts & special financing offers and get those tax deductions)

I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.

I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.

Probably picked it up from Reddit, I feel good when saying this, no idea why.
