Sadly, everything that wastefully consumes too much of my CPU cycles is usually some bloated graphical app.

At my last job simply watching the logs in TravisCI via Google Chrome would slow my MacBook to a crawl.

At my new job my MacBook is fine until I join a Zoom meeting, especially if I try and screen share.

Anything I actually call from the terminal is optimized enough to never be a bother. If I worked in a space where it wasn't (big data, video transcoding, etc), I'd probably just run a powerful cloud instance and sync my code there.
