$900 on sale for m1 laptop. $600 for used. This is less than a day's labor for this crowd.

While I agree in spirit that the relative cost of the Mac isn’t a bad value proposition, I’d definitely mention that wages vary dramatically by locale.

While 100/hr is reasonable for many devs in Silicon Valley, it is fairly high for others.

Great for you but that doesn’t really change the point. $80/hr is still very high for a lot of the world.
