What was your tech stack? What problems did you run into?
I'm surprised, because I imagine that's how a big fraction of developers here on HN work, and I've very rarely heard that complaint before.
- pretoriusB 14y agoPeople try to use a Desktop OS like OS X like a development workstation targeting Linux and the full Linux userland and then complain. Go to any developer's conference and it's 80+ MBP and Air's with OS X. Do you hear them bitch? Use a Virtual Machine or a remote/cloud etc server like the pros do. It's 2013. It's not rocket science. "Oh, I tried installing something and I broke my MacPorts" -- well, cry me a river. Do you know how many times I (and millions of people) have struggled with borked RPMs and DEBS, external repos not being totally compatible, latest stuff only being available on experimental repos, having to revert to manual compilation, messing with hardware drivers et all in Linux?
