How do you do Linux and windows development from Mac?

Fwiw, wsl2 has been much better than its predecessor.

Nothing prevents you from making Linux stuff on the Mac. Its actually even easier than on Windows. You probably need a Windows machine for Microsoft native stuff though. I work in backend infrastructure and having a Windows machine has been nothing but a drag doing that kind of work. I hate them anymore.

Man our product launch was missed and on a day to day slip. Certain CPU vendor essentially fucked up, but can't really say more than that - but this was a multi million dollar fuck up if we couldn't launch.

Spent the last two weeks working what is essentially 16-20 hours a day. Had to meet with execs a few times yesterday and basically spearheaded the effort to solve this.

I've never been complimented so much in my career from higher-ups. One guy told me I was a hero, another person started clapping when I gave updates.

I'm just a software engineer so I feel like at a company this big, meeting execs is super not common.

Give me a raise God damnit.

Yeah they're cunts then if they don't.

I got a spot bonus of $10k a couple years ago just for doing a huge data migration project alone. As we moved from one ordering system to another. That whole effort cost at most $2M for the company. Of which I only did that small piece.

I was never able to be a bootlicker. I know this has been detrimental in my career but I just can't make myself suck up to anyone. I'd rather be homeless. Fuck em.

A lot more people succeed due to bootlicking than skill though. Just the way it is.
