The orange one

My experience is not the same as yours.

1. Screen share issues: I’ve never experienced this. I screen share often and have for years without issues.

2. Package manager: homebrew and Mac ports exist and work well. Both apple and Microsoft have their app stores but they’re not package managers. That’s common on linux, but it doesn’t hamper installing from a central place like home brew.

3. Docker: you’re probably referencing the cpu architecture change and having to run in compatibility mode. That’s not an issue anymore. Docker containers can be built for multiple targets, and even older ones running via a translation layer work even if it’s not optimal.

I’m not trying to minimize your experience, but it is not indicative of what the average developer on a Mac will experience.

The one annoyance I can agree with is having to download a new version of Xcode whenever the OS is updated.

I’ve used windows and I abhor it for development work personally. If I could get a Linux machine at work I would, but corporate management software is not in the same state on Linux as it is for other systems.

I write code on a Mac and I disagree with you vehemently. It’s way better than windows.

I second backblaze. Switched to them about 5 years ago when AWS and GCP were charging me $20-30 for storing my backups. The same backups cost $5-7 on backblaze.

I don’t. But my boss is pressuring me to do so because his boss and above are asking for all engineers to use it. The most I use it for is the occasional bash scripting semantics. I prefer not to use it in my daily work.

Formerly Google domains, now owned by squarespace. It costs $13 a year for a .rocks domain.

PostgreSQL is a goated database. It’s rock solid.

No clue why you’d find it gross. I’ll take it over MySQL, OracleDB or MariaDB any day.

My team has a product repo and it’s fantastic. Instead of a monolithic repo across all teams, it’s limited to just the work my team does. About 5 applications and their related libraries and tools are all in the same repository, making it super simple to share related code amongst the 5 applications we maintain in it.

We have a couple other separate repos that have nothing to do with our applications (ELK stack and docusaurus)

I just tried it out, and IntelliJ’s vim plugin supports macros. You’re in luck :)

mpv is cool and all, but it’s not going to play media on my Apple TV which is using Jellyfin via Infuse.

This is SHOCKING!!! Job well done 😂

Buffers do work in IntelliJ. Not sure about macros since I don’t use them. Haven’t checked VSCode. I found the IntelliJ plugin was better though.

I use vim keybindings in both IntelliJ and VSCode with no problems.

IntelliJ has local history for that case.

I rebase and force push daily. I like squashing all my commits, and our main branch moves quickly so I rebase off that often. Zero issues for me.

I scored 8/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. WOW.
