Apple Silicon M1: A Developer's Perspective

Why do a `git clone pkg && cd pkg && ./configure && make && make install` instead of just a `brew install`? The whole point of a package manager is to make installations and upgrades easier.

Homebrew never was a package manager until recently. It was in the name, it was designed for building packages from source on your local machine.

Now your are just quibbling over what ultimately is a minor difference.
