Project Rider – A C# IDE

Tell this to my IT department that gave me a Macmini with SSD and not only insists on antivirus but also on File Vault. It takes a long time to boot and Xcode compiles are horribly slow. (Eventually I'll convince them, it just hasn't been worth it to push too hard yet since 99% of my time is spent in VS on the Windows box sitting next to it.)

(FWIW, I prefer VS to Xcode, despite preferring Mac to Windows. IntelliSense and editor tabs seem nicer to use than Xcode's UI, and Xcode with a Swift project only a little bigger than a toy demo hits periodic freezes. On my home iMac which does have an SSD.)

You should tell them and your managers. For every 1/2 day you sit watching the machine, they could be getting double the workload out of you.

As a consultant and contractor this is the first thing I point out. However, it's their money, not mine.

My managers can be somewhat closed-fisted and stingy. Blood from a stone is easier.
