Maybe you should have gotten a better machine then. If by a few years ago you mean 2010, then sure. We're 1/2 a decade past that now.

I disagree as a developer who does (personal) development on a 2010 laptop (1st gen Westmere, upgraded to SSD). My laptop is perfectly adequate for my development work (Android, Python). Besides, no ones should have to run Windows via hypervisor in a multi-platform world such as the one Microsoft is promising for C#, this is what makes beefy machines 'necessary'.
- iolothebard 11y agoNo one forces you to use MS products, a MS OS VM or C#. So it's not 'necessary', it's a choice you're making.
- 72deluxe 11y agoSometimes I am disappointed by responses on here as spittle appears to end up on my screen, instead of logical calm responses. The bottleneck is indeed the hard disk but everything else about the machine is perfectly acceptable. Unless I need more cores in my CPU and all software has suddenly been rewritten to do everything in parallel and nobody does queue based operations now?
