I’m always amazed how people dismiss the contributions of people who actually bring in revenue so that you can get paid.

I’m not in sales. I’m what would be considered a “post sales architect” who is the first person a client talks to once the sale is closed and responsible for delivery. But I’m high enough up the funnel and work closely enough with sales and marketing to appreciate them.

That's true. On the other hand it also happens that software devs, who develop software running on Linux, have to work with Dell Windows laptops while the VP who mostly deals with Teams, Zoom, and emails is able to have a Macbook... and an Apple 5k monitor.
Is working on Windows itself that bad with WsL 2.0? I had to use Windows for one year at a shitty consulting company before I left out of the 5 years since I’ve been AWS focused. My workflow wasn’t that different with VSCode, Docker and WSL than on my Mac.

And honestly before ARM based Macs, Mac laptops sucked about as bad as Windows laptops and near the end of the x86 run, they were actually worse.
