Companies that are bigger than startups vibecoding food delivery apps?

Even Apple and Google run AD internally.

Gotta support all those CAD workstations running Windows.

Is Apple hardware still designed on Windows PCs?

Im not really in the space but all the CAD things I see lately are browser based "cloud offerings"

Im not sure is CAD stuff is just served by a basic graphics card at this point or if there is some server side work going on.

OS doesnt mean that much when every industry decided that Chrome was going to be their VM

No one is using that cloud crap professionally. The bread and butter of the CAD world is Windows PCs with tons of RAM and certified GPUs.

I would bet there are at least some people using Onshape at their job. https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/case-studies/

Hardcore CAD systems like Solidworks or CATIA still aren’t browser based.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for (doesnt look 1 to 1 for cloud to local) but it looks like both have offerings in the space
