I am looking forward to the 16" MacBook Pro's with Apple Silicon based processors, but only because I do miss the additional screen real-estate, and prefer the larger size. I avoid Electron based apps like the plague, and with being able to run iPad/iOS apps on the M1, I've been able to cut down even further since things like Authy are way faster to launch when they aren't large Chrome based hogs. I've been living with 16GB of RAM forever, so maybe I am used to fitting in that memory space. I, like the blog author, was thinking of this as a secondary laptop, something fun to have around, but I have hardly touched my old 15" MacBook Pro because this one does everything I already need. I don't extensively use docker containers, but for those I connect to the cloud instead of running them locally, which is a move I was already making even on my Intel based MacBook Pro. I use vim to develop, and it runs on Rosetta just fine, so I can continue to use all my existing plugins. Once again, this has increased my productivity in the edit, compile, test cycle.įor other projects like node/npm the speedups are also massive and running various pipelines to go from source code to final deployable object is also much faster. Something that used to take 3 minutes to compile + link for a debug build is now down to 40 seconds. My Rust projects now compile in WAY less time. That's a HUGE win in the edit, run test suite cycle.Ģ. Test suites that take ~60 seconds on my 2017 MacBook Pro i7, now take just ~15 seconds. For my open source projects, running tests has sped up so much that I find it more of a joy to work on this projects now. but instead develop open source projects running Python, and Rust.ġ. I'm a developer as well and don't use apps like VSCode, or Java/Gradle.
