XCode works amazingly well - compiling a small project, live preview and running the simulator just feels fast, not like waiting for a machine with too few resources to do something. The Air lasts roughly 10-12 hours on one charge.

Docker and PyCharm are also working well, but the Air only lasts like 7ish hours before it needs to be plugged in again.

Parallels VMs (Debian) work, but drain the battery and feel a bit more sluggish than I am used to. Something I hope will improve once Parallels officially supports the M1, not just in a tech preview.

I did not encounter any problems with any of the tools I use (Fork, Paw, iTerm) and last I checked most have support for the M1 (I try to use as many native apps as possible).

I can't believe we're at a point where we're using the word 'only' to describe a laptop running dev tooling on battery for 7 hours.

It's all very exciting!
