In the last 18mths I've had work issued 2019 Macbook Pros and 2020 Macbook Pros and they both suck as developer machines for my workloads (docker and intellij). Absurdly hot running under load, the frequent point releases for OSX, 3.4-3.7GB and 30-40 minutes of time unless I do it out of hours - the trainwreck that was Big Sur and virtualisation. I'm fortunate in that while I have work issued machines I don't have to use them *for work and can instead use my nice desktop but damn if I had to work on those machines I'd lose the plot (as other members of my team frequently seem to at various times).
