The "sexy" development stuff (FOSS web frameworks, LLMs, etc.) have a habit of happening on Macs.

Not all of it, mind.



> "sexy" ... web frameworks, LLMs ... on Macs

Oh my, I don't even know where to start on this one. If programming is sex, web programming is submission. Sure it sounds fun, but not for regular people. As for LLMs I can't imagine a situation where I'd want to run them on Macs and ditch my Nvidia graphics.

The real reason is that Windows users are just not very loud.

And why's that?


I dunno. I work on my PC. At some point I feel like 64GB RAM is not enough. I open Amazon and order another 64GB. Some other time I think if I upgrade my CPU my IDE experience would be better. Depending on the generation, I either order another CPU or get a whole new PC altogether (these days I also redistribute my GPUs between the old and the new one).

And so on. I assume everyone else with PCs does the same. So when I go to web forums I don't usually talk about that.
