Amazon’s Chips Threaten Intel

I suppose I’m an outlier then. I just use normal UNIX tools. No Xcode, no IDE’s, no proprietary toolchains. Maybe my programs are too boring. :)

There are some portability quirks for sure, though.

If you don't mind me asking, if not developing for ios and need xcode for appstore access, why are you on mac?

Why not Linux, then? Why pay "the Apple tax"?

(not the OP). I develop linux services on a Mac, connected remotely to a linux workstation. My company pays the Apple tax, and the hardware is nicer. Plus, my friends use iMessage.

I tried using a company Linux device only to find that its graphics drivers weren't supported, the 4k scaling didn't work nicely without spending ~30 minutes looking up how to do it the hard way, and it didn't play nicely when connected to a normal 1080 monitor. I returned the device after (thankfully) it failed.
