I never got why tech bros use macs when you'd think they'd go for thinkpads with linux. How do you get into tech and not fuck with the OS your shitty software is going to run on server-side?

They use Macs because Apple hardware is the most expensive and most powerful on the desktop market. Most of the time they'll just be remoting into the Dev machine (some Amazon Linux/Enterprise Linux machine) anyway in VSCode and so all that hardware is unnecessary.

On the one hand Macs are easier to manage, but on the other hand, so much waste when really people just get them for the IPhone integration and the HiDPI screen.
