[–] krippix@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Why would you need a mac for software development? For Swift? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* I used to be a pure Win dev and used Docker, and so did half of my in-person team. And when we had windows issues, it was always this weird edge-case of "oh, this is only happening on Dave's comp. Or Sarah's. Or Steve's." Even on the same computer brands. Then pandemic happened, and my company gave everyone Macs to work remotely. And my dept tripled and troubleshooting remotely sucks ass. But these Macs, it was all the same. Dealing with tech issues took an hour vs the whole day. And people spent more time coding than fighting their OS. On windows, You can absolutely use WSL and all these other work around, but I kept having to fight Windows to do something. Drivers. Or permissions. Or some weird ass setting. But on Macs, troubleshooting and problem solving was way easier. Weird to say, but Apple just gets out of your way. In terms of "I'm just trying to code", as a Windows user for over 25 years, holy shit Mac just works right out of the box. And once Linux/proton is more mature, I really can't see using Windows at all. permalink fedilink source parent [+] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
