So why are you developing on OSX if your deploying on Linux - why don't you have a duplicate development and test server to work with
On windows Just use an X server or run Hyperv and run VM's

Why are you telling me how to do my job?
OSX is a fantastic development machine. Most developers use it. It completely fits all my needs and is provided for me by employer so that I can be happy and productive and effective. Which, as you remember, was the original criticism. That Amazon DOESN'T do that.

so..... why does cpan not mange to install standard packages like the MySQL DBD on my mac mini at work?
Also I spent a good deal of time building carrier grade software for major telco's (using map reduce I might add).
Serious developers develop on Identical hardware to the live system and I mean identical as in came of the line in the same batch.
Its all about removing risk
The reason why I use a mac is because everything I build is deployed on Linux. Coding on a WIndows laptop means I wouldn't be able to compile anything, and coding on an Ubuntu laptop...well...I still like having a first world OS experience.
