      No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

      lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.

      Can’t tell if you’re just joking or not but either way. 😄

        Nobody telling you, so let’s here ALLLL about the Windows shit you build and all the metrics.

        Java, I’m assuming? 🤢🤢

          C++, desktop scientific mathematical software for Windows.

          By the way, you seem a bit on edge. You okay?

          Disclaimer, I am using Linux at home and work, I work on a tangential thing to the rest of my team. I’m just saying, these are very much senior devs worth their salt, and that you made a bad take. But I do agree with you that Windows is not nice to work in.

      I work with a very competent dev who uses Windows. I’ve even gotten him to the point of helping me to champion Nix dev shells. But he prefers to use those through WSL ¯\(ツ)

      Personally, i have a strong preference for Linux, but I don’t care if it’s a Mac. It’s unix-like enough, and all my stuff works. In fact, I already have a NixOS + Nix-darwin setup going really well. Windows though is just a hard no

      Yep most devs work with Linux in some way. We have to use windows for work but we deploy on linux.
