I can't think of any software engineers I personally know who use Mac. In my industry, pretty much anyone who uses Mac is in a managerial position.

- trueno 1mo agoall of our engineering teams use macs except one dude who carries his early 2000s windows4life gamer energy with him wherever he goes. as it turns out if you aren't specifically like doing cuda or dx stuff having unix and being able to compile quickly, emulate or translate every deployment target architecture, great ppw ... lends a lot of credit towards many domains of software engineering. it feels like it collapsed multiple devices into one. i just spin up a windows environment if i need to support some janky legacy windows only thing.
- Zambyte 1mo ago... I guess I know a couple of software engineers that use Windows.
- cgrealy 1mo agoEvery engineer at my job uses a mac. Same for my friends job. In fact, the only people who use windows are finance people, HR, etc
- Zambyte 1mo agoI forgot this thread was about Windows, lol. Most of the software engineers I know use GNU/Linux.
- Breza 1mo agoIn my experience as the head of data science in a corporation, everybody uses Windows on their local machines and Linux remotely.
