you don't necessary need to be logged to a workstation to do all your work.. You could develop de code locally in your macbook in a nice interface, when you are ready to compile then you push the code to a remote git repo in your workstation that also would trigger the compile job, tests, etc.. Do the CPU light work locally and the CPU intense jobs remotely in a system that can have more powerful CPU proper to the task while also freeing your laptop from the burden this CPU intensive job that will make it hot and burn trough the battery.. but yeah, this workflow could work in whatever laptop\os you want, from a chromebook to a macbook..
