There's £2k+ worth of compute on my office desk, the size of a thick book that I haven't touched in years... All because Apple deems it the only way to run xco

There's £2k+ worth of compute on my office desk, the size of a thick book that I haven't touched in years... All because Apple deems it the only way to run xcode... At least the client paid for the machine (enterprise, this was their way of having reproducable builds... Until the pandemic but a halt to their project)

Yeah, it certainly hurts a bit less if you're not the one paying for it. I know we're in a high income profession, but buying another $2.5k+ laptop just for iphone development isn't a trivial expense if you do contracting (especially if you're not working 40 hours a week).
