The reason why I use a mac is because everything I build is deployed on Linux. Coding on a WIndows laptop means I wouldn't be able to compile anything, and coding on an Ubuntu laptop...well...I still like having a first world OS experience.
- walshemj 11y agoSo why are you developing on OSX if your deploying on Linux - why don't you have a duplicate development and test server to work with On windows Just use an X server or run Hyperv and run VM's
- amznawsthrow 11y agoWhy are you telling me how to do my job? OSX is a fantastic development machine. Most developers use it. It completely fits all my needs and is provided for me by employer so that I can be happy and productive and effective. Which, as you remember, was the original criticism. That Amazon DOESN'T do that.
