> I buy software tools that make me happy, better IDE's, licenses to tools I find useful, etc.

So do I. But, for my use cases, having a top-of-the-line machine doesn't make me happier or a better dev. Why should I spend money where it isn't going to get me anything I value?

No, I don't. Which is another reason why I'm not drawn to having the most powerful equipment possible.

> Fuck you. You don't respect yourself.

You seem unreasonably angry by the choices others make that don't even affect you.
