Hi, if you don't mind sharing, what sort of development work do you do? Do you do much local development or is the heavy stuff offloaded to other computers? I like the form factor but I worry about lack of performance.
When the project I'm working become more complete and there's more processing then I'll see what happens then. ;)
TLDR: Most of the performance bottleneck from Node.JS and Django is from I/O anyway and the SSD is pretty fast. I love it because it's the perfect form and it's a Mac. People are still using 2012/2013 Macbook Pro's, Macbook Air's for development, and this computer can more than compete.
I play with computer vision and image processing stuff on the side, as well as some iOS and watchOS development, so I'm worried that the 12" might be a little underpowered for these applications. The turbo boost frequencies are quite significant though. So many trade offs!
