> It depends on what you work on. Of course if you work with iOS development your surroundings will be mostly macOS machines since it's a hard requirement, no surprises here hence my comment about bubbles. Otherwise statistically speaking, macs are not the default developer machine as per surveys. Again, I didn't framed it as default machine, that comes from the comment I was responding to. Personally, I probably would have said something like "default machine for developers working on products that target non-developers" (I'd have to think really carefully about how I'd word this actually, because I'm well-aware of the statistics). Actually, I'd love to hear your framing of this. E.g., major tech companies usually default to a MacBook for developers. They're usually the most common machine at tech conferences. Unfortunately both based on anecdotal experience again, maybe you disagree with those too? But if you agree, how would you describe that if not the default machine for developers then? Not being rhetorical, I honestly struggle figure out the best way to describe it. (Also regarding this "Of course if you work with iOS development your surroundings will be mostly macOS machines since it's a hard requirement, no surprises here hence my comment about bubbles." I was specifically drawing on my experience before iOS development existed, when I worked in web development.) > It also depends on who you admire. For example Linus, someone I admire, uses a AMD Threadripper 3970x. And the best engineer I personally know, uses a Thinkpad with Debian. Clearly, but why is my following the work of people who I admire (mainly product-centric apps and website) elitist, but your following Linus, etc... not elitist? That was my question here. |
