Running benchmarks on the old Intel MacBook a previous job gave me was like pulling teeth. Thermal throttling all the time. Anything less than at least a 2x speed up was just noise and I’d have to push my changes to CI/CD to test, which is how our build process sprouted a benchmark pass. And a grafana dashboard showing the trend lines over time.

My wheelhouse is making lots of 4-15% improvements and laptops are no good for those.
