Spent all the budget on Apple hardware
- nkmnz 2y agoMacBook Air M2 16gb ram leasing: 30€ per month orbstack pro business license: 10€ per month I don't think the hardware cost is prohibitive here. It's the death of a thousand paper cuts of a startup. I agree that orbstack would be a good investment, though.
- 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)
