I started doing all my development inside a virtual machine. UTM on the M1 chip running Ubuntu ARM works very well and has minimal impact on battery life. The VS Code remote extension makes development inside the VM feel like its local.

I wonder if they tried to create something better than Random Access Memories for the last 7 years only to find out that it’s the best to leave it at that high note.

I am in the same boat. I love this Laptop, but Lightroom (CC) is really slow compared to how it runs on iOS. I would assume the new M1-based machines could run the iOS version of Lightroom almost out of the box.
I find that well-executed strength training (i.e. with proper form) eliminates all kinds of back-related issues for me. This talk has been really eye opening for me:

Re:Pinboard Turns Eleven on Friday July 10, 2020 @12:03PM (#23792911)
I use Pinboard in combination with a Raspberry Pi (running Calibre + Mozilla Readability) as my Read Later service. Once per day the Raspberry Pi fetches unread bookmarks from Pinboard and compiles an eBook that is then sent wirelessly to my Kindle. This has replaced Instapaper/Pocket for me. Thanks to Mozilla Readability the text/image extraction works in most cases better than other Read Later services + I like having all my bookmarks in one place (and one service less to pay money for!). I've written a blog post about it and open-sourced all my work: https://christianhans.info/12791/running-your-own-read-later...
