When work hands you a Macbook and you go ewww gross I get looks :) I HATE Mac OS user interface. It is so convoluted and decisions based on things that were wierd 15 years ago. I doubt I'll get permission to install it on the mac. The mac is super locked down. Windows 8 was a decient compromise for me but I am in the tiny minority that liked the Windows 8 interface it was the closest thing to a tiled window manager.

If you work somewhere that doesn't respect your autonomy enough to let you work with the tools you like, then you should work somewhere else.

  Sometimes it's not about autonomy, but simply the availability of tools. Lots of software for various industries is OS-specific, so you may not have a choice but to use a certain OS for work (usually Windows, but macOS in the case of iOS development).

  Did you just suggest somebody leave their job because their employer wont let them install a software package on their mac-book?

    Yes.

      You have a job for me? In the North East or West Virginia?
      - Sir_Cmpwn 9y ago
        There's loads of jobs on the east coast! And plenty of remote work even if you can't move. Start looking, who knows what you'll find.

  I agree with the sentiment but I think it very much depends on the role. I wouldn't expect iOS development to happen on another platform for instance. There are probably many niches with similar constraints.

    Yes, of course, if certain tools are required to do the job then it's another matter.
