As long as you don't use Docker. My last job gave me an M1 Air for container debugging and devops, and it was a comically bad fit for the task. I ended up going back to my cheap x86 Linux host for most of the dirty work, just because it ran cooler.

Now, if someone could find me a native Docker host that lasts all day... then we're in business.

I run all the heavy stuff on a remote dev node. My laptop is just vscode+ssh, tmux in iTerm, a browser, Spotify and slack.
The wave of the future! Half the people in my team did that, I didn't feel right about the EC2 costs. To each their own, I guess.
I mainly dev on my home machine, a 13900k linux desktop. When not at home I utilize tailscale to get remote access. Was just in Vegas for a week and it worked great. I plugged my laptop in once to charge.
