Seems silly to do that compile/test on a laptop instead of a server.
What about inodes and cpu spikes even running node on osx? Let alone doing that inside a container.
Nah. OSX is long gone for "better dev experience". Linux always wins.
what constitutes a better dev experience?
- Same text editing shortcuts that work consistently throughout all apps in the system including your editor/IDE, browser, and terminal.
- iTerm2 having so called "legacy full screen mode" that I use exclusively. (I've been searching for something similar for windows/linux for quite some time).
- The general system polish and usability. This is not directly "dev experience", but it's something you interact with while doing development throughout the day and it's just hands down a lot better than anything linux has atm.
Is that about disabling animations? That can be done globally on windows and linux desktop environments.
Essentially, I always have terminal in the background even when I'm not working acting as my wallpaper.
