Why do I feel like this is kinda like the hipster carrying his typewriter on the bus?
It seems like stuff like this is more about presenting an “identity “ instead of actually doing anything real. My immediate assumption from seeing someone with this would be that they are more about appearing to do a thing than actually doing it… so perhaps a good ux designer.
Right. Apple spent DECADES working on developers to make MBPs the exemplar hipster dev accessory
To be fair, I switched when apple silicon cut my compile time by 75 percent even using x86 emulation, dollar for dollar, and I got 2x battery life out of the deal for free. I run Linux most of the time in a VM these days, but I also really enjoy the ability to run largish (70b) models at Q6 with reasonable performance, thanks to the unified memory. They got some stuff pretty right, have to give them that.
