      Personally, i have a strong preference for Linux, but I don’t care if it’s a Mac. It’s unix-like enough, and all my stuff works. In fact, I already have a NixOS + Nix-darwin setup going really well. Windows though is just a hard no

      Yep most devs work with Linux in some way. We have to use windows for work but we deploy on linux.

      No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

      lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.

      Can’t tell if you’re just joking or not but either way. 😄

          C++, desktop scientific mathematical software for Windows.

          By the way, you seem a bit on edge. You okay?

          Disclaimer, I am using Linux at home and work, I work on a tangential thing to the rest of my team. I’m just saying, these are very much senior devs worth their salt, and that you made a bad take. But I do agree with you that Windows is not nice to work in.
