And why don't they simply run that software on the laptop they already own?

What is it about THIS software, unlike any dev software to come before it, that pushes people to buy new small computers?

Why do you think?

They can't run it on the laptop they already own, unless they happen to already have a decently-spec'd M-series MBP, which most of the non-hipster-coder world didn't.

And because it lets them create code without knowing how to code.

HA! So now Apple users are hipsters! Your ugly biases are beginning to show.

You know, I can't prove that the Mac mini problem is due to needing to sandbox agents. All I can offer is my anecdotal experience - and that of everyone I know.

I love that I'm now a 50 year old hipster. This is a wonderful conversation.
