Watching all this unfold as the DevOps guy was funny. "Don't go buy the new Macbooks, it breaks our build pipeline and you can no longer run production locall- wait, what's that? We ordered 20 last week before anyone even tested it? Sigh..."
It doesn't matter to them. They're content spending 5 hours tweaking their Mac setup for every 60 minutes they spend improving production. Do I envy that naivete? I'm not sure anymore.
- matwood 4y agoMacs don't have that much to tweak. What are people spending 5 hours tweaking? If it's building the perfect CLI, welcome to programmers and any computer set in front of them regardless of OS.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt was mostly Lima/Docker/Rancher/Podman related, iirc. Our architecture was all over the place, and people were in disagreement on the best way to fill-in-the-gaps for MacOS. Not sure what it looks like now, but I spent a lot of time doing Mac stuff for software that was only ever used internally.
