Sometimes corporate greed is why systems are so hard. My previous company had a very rigid repayment system and i swear it was designed to deny expenses. Once i submitted an expense for $3.25 for a train and they wanted receipts. I didn&#x

I find some of these "use a mac at work" companies do it because boring companies are trying to be "hip and cool". One place i know uses Java exclusively, but the devs all have macbooks because they are cool? How/wh
