Answer 1

programming - yes, if we are talking about web
flash - not really, although if you put the version of the corresponding year, then it’s completely
SSD + 8

retina - fire

Answer 2

I'll tell you from experience, it's not worth it. The last ones suitable for 8GB of RAM and SSD are MacBooks from 2011. There, and High Sierra, if not particularly loaded with a bang, works.
