Sorry to be blunt but your employer must be real penny pinchers, it’s not that expensive, and it’s a tool that would help you get the job done.

- commandersaki 2y agoFair criticism and I agree -- to that point, we're asked to bring our own devices to work without any compensation or the like (though it does have its advantages). I've considered paying out of my own pocket, but I just don't use Docker outside of work, and that's kind of where I draw the line at paying for software to do work.
- DandyDev 2y agoYou have to bring your own device? Do you have a major stake in the company you work for? Do you get an outrageously high salary? If the answer is no on both, you are taken major advantage of and you should quit asap

- danmur 2y agoMy (somewhat sarcastic) comment was just that Apple hardware is more expensive than Linux/Windows hardware. If you use Linux then I would say the docker experience is quite good. I wonder if Linux hardware was an option; seems odd to require running stuff under docker but also force people to use macbooks...
- _joel 2y agoSome places don't allow it due to MDM not being available/beta/untested for linux, althogh that has changed quite a bit over the past couple of years.
- pxc 2y agoAh yes, the ol' > Why don't we support Linux? Because we don't support Linux! runaround. When a company that mandates MDM chooses to buy an MDM software that lacks Linux support, that choice is the choice not to support Linux on developer machines.

- nkmnz 2y agoFirst hit on google for me: https://www.maclease.de/apple-macbook-air-m2-leasen-202111647 https://www.maclease.de/apple-macbook-air-m2-leasen-20211164... It's a 5 year contract, but the now 4 year old M1 16gb ram is still perfectly capable of running regular containerized web dev workloads (e.g. running supabase + 4 node applications)
