> I am just surprised how many experienced coders don't realise that technology is moving fast and, if you use obsolte hardware, your work and code will be as obsolete.

I think the reverse: Silly to build software on a bleeding-edge machine then act surprised when it runs like trash on customers' hardware. Instead build it on a trash machine and it will fly on better hardware.

I expect it is not such a good strategy for those whose code can't stand on its own legs outside of a Chrome distribution or VM, though.
