Mac book was never really a dev platform. Maybe for front or nodejs, or definitly for native apple apps, but seriously, brew and so are so subpar.

- rbanffy 6y agoI use Macports and I'm quite happy.
- setpatchaddress 6y agoGenuinely curious what you feel is subpar about brew. It seems to work pretty well.
- chrisseaton 6y agoI develop low-level code like compilers just fine on a MacBook.

I'm not sure what you're asking? It's lower level than the examples which were given. There's nothing stopping you using a MacBook for almost any development task. It's not just for front-end tasks. You can do work that runs directly on the architecture.
- dhosek 6y agoI've been doing dev work on Macs since 2002. Perl, PHP, Java, C++. It's been a great environment. I don't expect most of my workflow to be impacted by the ARM transition, but given I've refreshed my Mac Mini and laptop both in the last 18 months, I don't expect to be changing architectures any time soon either.
