Or just run Linux on your local machine as the OS. I don't get the obsession with Macs as dev workstations for companies whose products run on Linux.

- uncanneyvalley 2y agoThe year of Linux on the laptop has yet to arrive for most of us. Windows and MacOS both offer better battery life, if for no other reason (and there are usually other reasons, like suspend/wake issues, graphics driver woes, etc.)
- globular-toast 2y agoAgreed. It's so much simpler when people run Linux locally too. Most of our dev environment problems are from people who don't. When you run it locally you also get good at using it which, unsurprisingly, helps a lot when you have to figure out a problem with the deployed version. Learning MacOS/Windows is kinda pointless knowledge in the long run.
