Most SSDs that fail, don't fail because they hit the limit of writes, they usually fail because the controller is crappy, mostly on older sandforce based models.
If you're only using it for your programs, it will last many years.
Smaller ones (like 128gb) can usually hold 3000-4000 full writes (and all writes to an SSD are as random as possible), so you're looking at writing hundreds of terabytes until it dies, and like I said, if you're only installing your apps on it, you're not going to be writing anything close to that any time soon.
