Discussion on: Why did I choose the MacBook Air, as a full-stack software developer?

As a fellow Full Stack Web Developer I would suggest a Mac Book Pro (if you can afford things with an apple logo).

Based on experience I often required processing power (large databases crunches) and more battery hours (especially at conferences or courses).

I still remember my first encounter with an Air, a few of my fellow faculty colleagues brought their Air's, almost all of them remained out of battery before they could show their license project.

As I wrote, it's too heavy...

I read that part, you already decided, my advice was for the readers. I for one don't think it's heavy, I don't jog with the laptop anyway ๐Ÿ˜‚.
The air is more portable,but why carry more around something that you cannot use more (no battery left)
