>There’s serious hate for Apple amongst techs.
According to the StackOverflow developer survey, 33% of developers use macOS [0], which is approximately double its overall market share of ~15% [1].
In my experience, every tech company office I’ve ever been to has been a sea of MacBooks.

- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoYup. I worked for years in the imaging industry, and there's plenty of Apple, there. That still doesn't stop a very vocal minority of folks from spewing hate on us. Heck, just spend five minutes, browsing comments on this very forum, and you'll run into it. Seriously. Just make a few posts, indicating that you develop Apple software, and see where that takes you.
- shortrounddev2 3y agoYeah I actually see more hate towards Windows in the software development ecosystem. I spend my days on HN defending Powershell
- _23sd 3y agoTry working in IT or software dev at a company nobody would confuse for a "tech company", preferably outside of California. The Windows monoculture and Apple hate is massive in my experience. (Not trying to say it's a bad thing, I don't mind hating Apple products or Apple the company, what I do sometimes encounter that gets on my nerves though is spiteful behavior towards end users or even customers who have Macs.)
