Re:Coding Horror: Hardware is Cheap, Programmers are Expensive by hs on Friday December 19, 2008 @08:52PM (#404124)
i'd say programming environment (unix/mac, vim/emacs) and skill levels (algo, data structure, etc) matter more than hardware

it costs less to hire a skillful (but expensive) developer on ok machine than less skillful one(s) on expensive machine(s)

the 10-100x gain myth on skill is pretty much true
