I think the argument here is you can't build your own docker images that you use in production and run them on your mac without emulation (unless your production workload also runs on ARM).
- smspf 6y agoThat's a fair point. Emulation implies other limitations too - code compiled on your machine might leverage only the CPU features emulated, which would lead to sub-optimal binaries, not to mention much slower builds.
- flatiron 6y agoIf you don’t have an environment between your laptop and prod you got more things wrong than this ARM migration.
