YMMV
Good luck (if you want to go down this path and haven’t become a farmer yet).
Rght? "I want something shiny to write my code on because it makes me look cool and costs a lot " is not ether sign of seniority.
I can only imagine that you’ve never touched a mac much less used one for development.
I had two options at work.
Mac or Windows 11.

oh I asked. this is a big company with 6-8k employees.
the answer was always, “no”.
looking for my plot, though I might just become a fur trapper instead of a farmer.

Good luck with the fur trapping. Not sure if there’ll be less bugs though ;)
