  • This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.














  • One of the hurdles to ARM is that you need to recompile and maintain a separate version of every piece of software for the different processors.

    This is a much easier task for a tightly controlled ecosystem like Mac than the tons of different suppliers Windows ecosystem. You can do some sort of emulation to run non-native stuff, but at the cost of the optimization that you were hoping to gain.

    Another OS variation also adds a big cost/burden to enterprise customers where they need to manage patches, security, etc.

    I would expect to see more inroads in non-corporate areas following Apple success, but not any sort of explosion.
