Ask HN: Teams with mixed dev machines – Intel and Apple Silicon

  • I7 Mac's or PCs? I was recently issued an Apple Silicon Mac Pro as a secondary device. I personally find myself more productive on PCs or Linux machines, so you should take personal preference into account.

    WSL provides a very good Linux environment on windows, so the Unix toolchain is no longer a reason to pic a Mac.

    The biggest downside to developing on windows these days is abysmal git performance.

    Mixing VS Studio for Mac and PC might be problematic, so you might want to factor in the purchase or Rider licenses for the whole team.
