> I probably have five different systems
This is the story of Microsoft - five different ways to do the thing, none of which do everything, and all of which are in various states of disrepair ranging from outright deprecation on up through feature-incomplete preview. Which one do you use? Who knows, but by the time you get everything moved over to that one and make allowances for all the stuff the one you chose doesn't support, there will be a new more logical choice for "that one" and you'll have to start over again. Wheee.
And now slap widespread vibe coding and PRs that reviewed by LLMs without anyone giving it a proper look.
We are now definitely doing a lot of that. My manager has been saying things like, "I don't even know how it works, but I used AI to build [thing], and I just sent it to a PR." He's very strong technically, but the mindset has absolutely shifted to, "move fast and break things, yoloooooo". It's frustrating to say the least.
And most of that is done on Macbooks by people that either can not or will not use Windows OS.
Wait, is this true? I would have imagined unless it’s about porting software or testing it, everyone would be forced to use Windows.
If it is true, wonder what the proportion is then: 25%, 50%?

I don't mean this as a jab, but would you use Windows to develop software? Especially Windows that has AD teeth sunk into it where everything is "managed by your organization." It's just a thousand small cuts for seemingly no good reason.
