@sysxplore And after a while they just buy a Mac.

@DevLeaderCa I don't care anymore and just use what feels right for the problem at hand. I use both.

@James_M_South We're just slaving away writing boring corporate line of business apps. Sometimes even in old tech, because we have .NET framework projects running for like 20 years and still maintain them.

And we cry a little when library maintainers drop .NET framework support.

@KarenPayneMVP Dapper mostly, but I'm biased as I like to write my own SQL and usually work in a database first way.

PS- it’s hard not to love this little guy. I cant let Rise out of my sight…currently tethered to my water bottle.

@GigaBasedDad Mike Tyson in his prime was really scary. He would wreck all of them.

Chuck Norris and Van Damme have won real Karate tournaments.

I still don't know what to think about Bruce Lee.

@techdroider Seems like an Asus problem. My HP and Lenovo laptops still work.

@loftwah And if the current situation means less people will choose computer science, there will be an extreme shortage of developers in the future.

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@loftwah It has paid my bills for more than 20 years and the situation in Europe is probably a bit better than in the US.

I never earned a crazy 100k+ salary. So there's less of a incentive to out source and get rid of us.

It's just a normal job where I live.

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@straceX Yeah I'd rather go on vacation too. So there's that.

@kaaaash____ A MacBook might be a beauty, but a ThinkPad is a beast.

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@ClintRutkas Stop forcing Visual Studio 2026 updates. "Will update on close" gets on my nerves 😅

And I'm stupid enough to use 3 different Windows machines, with Visual Studio en SQL Management Studio.

There are days I feel like I'm only updating my systems instead of working...

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@brockpierson No... I was a Windows NT guy. I went from MS DOS to NT 3.5, NT 4.0, Windows 2000.

Windows XP was my first "main stream" Windows OS 😂

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it 😂 I guess Microslop & SlopOS social media shaming campaign is working out

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@loftwah I don't get the negativity. I got lots of work as a software developer. My work is changing though and I find myself analyzing requirements and business processes more often than just coding.

AI tools might require me to shift towards more of a consulting role. But I'll manage.

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@anonemeese303 @shanselman I have even considered running Windows Server as my main OS 🤣 But power management would be worse and some drivers won't work.

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@anonemeese303 @shanselman Windows is fixable, if Microsoft really wants to. I'm always amazed how quickly you can install and run Windows Server with desktop experience.

Why does setting up Windows 11 take so much longer?

[Buizerd @buizerd2050]

@ibuildthecloud @shanselman Why would a diehard Linux user want to migrate to Windows?

I have often tried to migrate away from Windows to Linux. But I need my computer to just work, it's a tool not a toy... so I'm still running Windows 11.

Buying a Mac is the only other option.
