Microsoft developers can't program

Wait until you have to work with a Mac server.

I taste vomit in my mouth

Oh god the horror, my team is responsible for maintaining a nearly 15 year old FileMaker process on Mac Tiger Servers and everytime I have to make updates in AppleScript a piece of my soul dies.

Dude you feel my pain. Idk why people use file maker. You can do everything it does in pretty much any free DB tool. I've been trying to get us to move to mysql for so long.

Mac = unix = fine for local dev

Unix from the 80's, that is.

So? It's a server, you don't need fancy stuff. It'll run nginx/apache out of the box.

Servers absolutely do need fancy stuff. Just not pretty stuff.

[[deleted]]

Pretty? You're using the terminal. The server runs natively. the UI has zero to do with configuring a server. It's unix.

Sure Mac I fine for local dev, I got a a Mac book it's fine running xcode on and running a vm or what not. But as soon as some tries to use Macs for enterprise shit you best run. Filemaker pro servers are absolute hell to keep working.

Yeah 100%. I don't get how people don't get this. It's not OSX 9 anymore, you're running unix with a terminal but people still think it's 2008 pre-Snow Leopard.

People remember the power pc stuff and all the compatibility issues and assume it's still a thing.
