Ask HN: Do you use windows for development?
Is it still part of your development workflow?
- sheldor 8y agoSadly yes. Too many apps still in old .net pre-core versions.
- muriithi 8y agoYes. I develop on both Ubuntu and Windows. I mostly do Node.js and Android development so I can work exclusively in Linux but some of my customers install my software on Windows. Always good to see whether everything works on Windows.
- mohitmun 8y agoHow do switch between both? Do you dual-boot or use VM or something similar?
- CyberFonic 8y agoNoooo! Dev desktop runs Ubuntu, MacBook Pro with OS X when on the road. Deploy everything as WebApps on hosted servers/services on both AWS and Google Cloud. Before cloud hosting, I used to roll-in servers running HP-UX and AIX into clients' data centers. My support costs were a tiny fraction of those of my competitors using Windows server, etc.
- chrisbennet 8y agoYes. I can iterate quickly. If the end product is embedded, I port it to Linux once I’ve got the algorithms working.
