I think part of the problem is for those stuck with Macs, for whatever reason - brew doesn't merely make their life as a dev easier, it makes being a dev possible - which only worsens the sense of entitlement.
- bardworx 4y agoAre you implying you cannot be a dev w/o brew?
- tomxor 4y agoNo. I'm saying on MacOS, for certain types of development where you need BSD or GNU userland tools not included in MacOS - a package manager for installing such tools like brew is required to make life sane and workable.
- bardworx 4y ago> brew doesn't merely make their life as a dev easier, it makes being a dev possible Your comment made it seemed as if there was no way to develop on a Mac before homebrew, which I think is silly. It’s just a tool. Makes your life easier but that’s it.
- tomxor 4y agoI've given you the clarification, I'm not willing to continue a discussion based on pedantry.
- Razengan 4y agoSo many assumptions in one entitled comment.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI can't see anything entitled in the comment. What do you mean?
