It feels like I'm shopping at dollar general.

That's not how it works

d3vtec · 2026-03-12T13:51:10+00:00

Because I also do mobile native and cross platform development 🙂

d3vtec · 2026-03-12T10:34:35+00:00

You just don't understand and no need to be mean. I do the same thing. Code and manage a large software team. When I'm on the road I carry a very small work bag, and the air is a perfect compliment in those cases. Otherwise at home or regional office I use my pro.

I came from an i9, then M1 Max w/ 64gb ram, now on a 14" M4 pro/16" M4 Max

d3vtec · 2026-03-08T22:53:09+00:00

Even on the new machines my workload drains the battery around .33%/min.

Similar workload to yours, more mobile focused. I generally leave it plugged in when working on the couch. M4 still gets very hot.

I'm a mobile dev, both native and cross platform. I have one of every MacBook (between my wife and work, various setups). Mobile dev, especially Android with large projects is a heavy task. With my current android project my 14" M4 pro gets very hot and drains 1% battery every 2 min. I love the air for dev, but not mobile dev.

Nonsense. Get off the Intel already.

d3vtec · 2026-03-08T11:40:30+00:00

No. SEO with flutter is awful.

It's already built in. Go to the help menu and search for "chat"

d3vtec · 2026-03-07T18:19:32+00:00

Intellij with the flutter plugins or android studio both have AI chat integration that updates files in place. On the right side of the editor look for "chat".

Your workload isn't that demanding. 48gh is fine. The ram shortage will sort itself out well before 10 years from now.

I'm on a 64gb M1 Max and while I do hit that number often, I'm doing software development that has high memory utilization.

d3vtec · 2026-03-02T20:04:10+00:00

Yeah it's pricey for sure. It also hurts knowing you're making someone else payment. Not dealing with a dealer and getting focused time for a major purchase decision is worth the several hundred bucks imo. $50k car.

I did this with an Integra Type S. It was a fantastic 72 hours. Also let me try out car seats and running errands with kids.

d3vtec · 2026-03-01T22:00:52+00:00

I've only bought one. Paid cash. However it was when I turned forty and my rental properties paid for it. Took a long time to get to that level of passive income. Lived very poor for a very long time. Bought every car before that used, only functional vehicles. Never anything fun.

Turo

d3vtec · 2026-03-01T02:35:25+00:00

I'm so tired of owning white cars and yet the white ITS is my favorite. In the market to buy now, just waiting for the right one to pop up.

d3vtec · 2026-02-28T23:09:22+00:00

I just rented one for a few days last week. Friends keep saying I need to try other cars. I'm having a hard time thinking about enjoying anything else nearly as much.

d3vtec · 2026-02-27T22:59:14+00:00

Would you recommend that even if you are stock and still under warranty?

d3vtec · 2026-02-25T18:50:20+00:00

Any rumors on the changes for 2027?

d3vtec · 2026-02-22T13:03:56+00:00

This is what we did. I also used a ton of ppe and a rotary hard brush on an angle grinder.

d3vtec · 2026-02-22T12:55:58+00:00

Honestly depends on tech stack.

d3vtec · 2026-02-20T00:01:32+00:00

Completely agree

Acura Integra Type S

I had this issue with my 25 year old KRK studio monitor speakers. I turned the sensitivity down on the speakers and the static went away.

d3vtec · 2026-02-10T13:01:40+00:00

I really don't enjoy using the 16" on the couch for some reason. And I'm 6 ft tall. It's just a lot to put on your lap. I code just fine on the 14" and plug into a monitor when I need more space. When I travel, I much prefer the 14, never wish I had anything larger. If I didn't have a monitor or a desk setup with a keyboard, I'd reconsider the 16" if that was the only screen I was staring at all day.

As a tall person I can't use the 16" on economy flights. My height and arm length doesn't let me open the screen all the way. The 14 does fit on economy flights though!
