> just to show people it’s not this handicapped little machine I used to think this way about Apple and its jarring to read with it 10-15 years behind me. It reads as aggro and oddly tribalistic / sports fan-y. (what people? who thinks its slower than an M1? who thinks you can't code on it? what will you coding on it prove to these people that the benchmarks they read can't? with all that, why get so invested you're buying a machine you don't want to use day to day? what does "handicapped" mean in this context?) Only sharing b/c I never understood why people would roll their eyes at me, and apparently I finally reached my own graybeard moment, and I am now rolling my eyes at both of my selves :)
