I experienced much more inconvenience as a developer working on MacOS, than I did on Linux. That's why I am asking this. It would be interesting to know, how many developers using Macbooks haven't even tried running desktop Linux

What I said, is that buying Apple hardware just to be able to test iOS / MacOS software doesn't make much sense, unless you work as a iOS / MacOS developer. I don't. And I never stated, that Electron is a reason not to u

> If you're developing iOS or macOS software, you need a Mac. I agree, that's probably the only valid reason for a developer to prefer a Macbook over a Thinkpad: if he needs to develop software for Apple hardware. But in the ag

That's probably why they started making silver Thinkpads.

This. A hundred years ago, if you wrote a diary, it was a private diary; if you wrote a letter, it was a private letter; and if you had a conversation, it was a private conversation. Now, your own thoughts no longer belong only to you.

A public cloud only requires three things: compute instances, block storage, and object storage. Everything else is just an additional service built on top of these. If you use a cloud platform as an infrastructure provider, not as a softwa

Serverless applications are attached to a single cloud platform they were built on top of. You can't switch between the platforms without changing the code. At its current stage, serverless is more like a hack.

As long as people talk about a development practice only in terms of a set of services from a proprietary cloud platform, you know, that it's not a mature thing.

This is a budget ThinkPad model, design for small businesses, where 4k display would be an overkill. I actually find FHD to be a better option for a development machine, because of the lower energy consumption and extended battery life.
