So for example a front end web developer isn't going to see much difference between an M1 Pro/Max and a regular M2. Most of their workload is dependent on single-threaded performance, which the M2 is better at. The exception here is if they're routinely running a bunch of VMs simultaneously for e.g. compatibility testing.
Backend devs might be better off with an M1 Pro/Max depending on the language they primarily work in… some languages and associated toolchains are much better at utilizing multiple cores than others. They're likely to need a lot of RAM though because e.g. running a lot of Docker containers (which are VMs under the hood) is memory intensive.
The group that most unambiguously benefits from an M1 Pro/Max are developers working on native desktop or mobile apps… these devs are mostly writing languages like C, C++, Rust, and Swift which all have well-multithreaded toolchains which will see dramatic speedups in even incremental compiles with more cores in the mix.
