> The dominance of Apple devices, particularly macOS over Windows, reflects the platform preferences of modern developers. I'm not so sure you can say exactly that: the last 3 jobs I've had, and I'm a professional programmer, I got Mac laptops of various stripes. I was certainly happy with that, work Windows tends to be a bit of a drag, and I always end up mostly running Linux in VirtualBox or whatever. But the point is, I was assigned a Mac laptop, not "I chose a Mac laptop". I have a Linux laptop and a Mac M2 silicon laptop. I almost exclusively use the Linux laptop, for lots of reasons. Given a real choice, I'd pick Linux. And I wouldn't look at HN on a cellphone.
