@rEaL-jAsE true, but I had a horrible experience on windows. Primarily because of the half assed way windows uses linux sub systems to run an okayish development environment.

Wsl 2 was a nightmare.

@rEaL-jAsE in my opinion, yours might differ. Windows is shit for development. It's one of the reasons I switched to Linux. I'd stay on Linux but my machine just doesn't work well with it. So mac os for now.

@rEaL-jAsE ....

@Fast-Nop also, 32 gig on linux? That's some hardcore future proofing you got there. I have a 16 gig machine running linux at the moment. The only problem I'm having is well, hp related. The realtec wifi absolutely sucks.
The Bluetooth doesn't work with the wifi.
The mic stops working absolutely randomly.
The ram. The ram doesn't reach 16 gigs even with three docker containers running simultaneously along with 20+ chrome tabs.

@Fast-Nop that's the main problem. The pricing just gets absurd with apple.

@molaram new in terms of macbooks. Also yes, true that. The new improved version is another issue. 😂
If the change is big enough, this version will loose it's value. Fast.
Although, considering I fried my current laptop, and I'm on a budget, I believe my choices are limited at the moment.

@molaram hoping this next buy cures that itch for me. It's a completely new thing and there are so many mixed reviews about it that it just feels uncomfortable at the moment.

Most of the times when you go to get a laptop it's something tried and tested. This? This is something that's new to everyone.

@molaram good point ...
I was using a probook 440 g4 up till now. I'm not used to the concept of not needing to swap stuff out. Specially ram. 😅

@darkwind that's true. One of the reasons I've stayed away from macs is the lack of changeable parts. You buy something and you're stuck with it. Honestly a thinkpad with linux might even be a better option.

@nitwhiz aren't you worried about the ssd wear issue?

@nitwhiz discussing ram options.

@molaram I don't do much heavy lifting here. Honestly for the next few months the most I see myself doing is running unit tests and watching YouTube videos while using vscode. That's the worst case scenario for me.
Hence the confusion on my end.

@molaram just for future proofing or have you experienced any slow down in workflow on your m1?

@theabbie pretty much. Needed a few jump scares though.

@N00bPancakes I did. A bit over exaggerated but interesting nonetheless. Putting aside the whole social media will bring the apocalypse theory, the documentary does give a nice reminder on keeping a watch on how much time you spend online.

@SortOfTested that's definitely true.
The last job I was in had two junior devs as team leads who had a habit of micromanaging absolutely every single detail. They set impossible deadlines and asked for stuff that was shady or borderline illegal.
The last task I got assigned before I quit was to design and implement an automated digital fingerprinting authentication system that tracks the user's activity along with their location and prevents the user from sharing his/her account.
The lead asked me to do this in two weeks.

@Demolishun the comments in this rant are a great example of what @N00bPancakes was talking about.
Despite the anger and rage, people here really give you a shoulder to cry on.
This can be a pretty stressful field.

I kinda read a rant that seemed a bit edgy so I ended up ranting about it. 😅

@Voxera definitely true. Honestly speaking, going through a few rants at the end of the day and adding silly comments is a pretty good way to destress.

I usually come online every other day and spend a while on the app. Kudos to the devs who made it!

@Stuxnet road rage with a hammer 🥞

Am I the only one who didn't understand what diacritic is?

@Linux you need pancakes. Maybe a hammer as well. Eat the pancakes and use the hammer to, uh, open some doors.

@iamai taking this to a whole new level. 💯🥪🙇‍♂️

Now this is what I call pure evil.

Every single time.
Client: I want a spinny thingamajig on the wiggle whopper next to the logo.
Marketing: OF COURSE! ONE? OUR DEVS WILL GIVE YOU THREE!
Devs: 🎶 hello darkness my old friend ... 🎶

@N00bPancakes mr.Pancakes, those are the exact people this rant was about.

We see you, the guy screaming at his computer. We see everything. EVERYTHING.
Also, mr.Pancakes you make me crave pancakes. Rant on mr.Pancakes, rant on. 🥞

Same. I also use the free wifi.

Thinking about road rage with a hammer.

@Jilano I like how you made that connection.

@N00bPancakes you make a very good argument 🥞. It is very amusing to be honest.

Black and white, because, I'm colorblind.
