I remember the good old days when developers actual told their users what the problem was when there was an error. Now they just either do nothing or show "Something happened" and leave the poor user trying to find out what's going on via Google with fuck all idea of what to look for.
Agreed on IIS although Web deploy takes no more time than building it locally but I wouldn't run SQL Server locally unless it's a small DB. What I'm getting at is that I have never had any problems with crashes while developing on Windows so I'm just surprised to hear of such bad experiences. Don't peg me as a Microsoft fanboy; I might work with their stuff but I curse them daily.
You could run it on a separate server or a few separate servers instead of consuming the resources of several dev machines. SQL Server isn't exactly lightweight and you're running other RAM intensive processes by the sounds of things.
Is this just a code fix or has it been through any regression testing? I'm not sure I'd want to risk it on a production machine. Better to revert to 4.5.
I use Windows in a Parallels VM and in 4GB (or GiB who the fuck cares) I run Chrome and I with several tabs, Outlook, Word, 3 or 4 instances of VS2013 and all sorts of other miscellaneous stuff and don't have any problems with crashing. What hardware are you running your Windows on?
What you could do as a software developer is spend days trying to figure out an issue or you could ask other devs if they've had the same issue. In the good old days users might've understood that an IT issue might take longer than half an hour to fix but that's not the case now, especially with complex third-party software with crap documentation (looking at you Sharepoint).
I take it you've never heard of Margaret Hamilton or Admiral Grace Hopper who somehow managed to excel in a much more sexist society than we have now because instead of whining about the patriarchy on Twitter or Jezebel, they went and proved themselves better than their male peers.
Yeah we have plenty of them. We also have unique requirements too and old systems that won't go away. I've worked in IT for 20 years and managers have always been buying packages that then need to be heavily customised because they believed the salesman. Every business is different and generic systems aren't always the answer.
Are there cloud tools that write your business logic for you? That's the time consuming part, not the scaffolding. A few minutes might give you a bare bones website but it won't build your complex website and database or automatically connect to all the other systems it might need.

I don't know about black supremacists but plenty of nasty religious extremists are in prison in the UK and there are a number of banned organisations.
That wasn't a protected lion lured out of a wildlife reserve to be killed for "sport" by a pearly toothed coward.
Car2go is awesome but they couldn't make any money in the UK so it's not available anymore :-(
So a huge positive for society then.

Why are you running SQL Server and IIS on a Dev machine out of interest?

They don't have to except in the minds of the Twitterati.

Pidgin English you moron.
Yes they were. The Arabs arrived later.
The pyramids look pretty impressive to me.

Whatever would m'lady do without you white knights riding to the rescue.
Yes
They've moved some things to Settings in Windows 10 but left others in Control Panel. I wish they'd stop fucking with the interface.
And yet the pioneers must have suffered from appalling discrimination. How did they manage to beat the patriarchy?
B0xen? Seriously?

Where in Europe? It's a very large continent with dozens of countries with the largest economies after the US and China.
