This is a strange thread for me. I have a 2021 16" Macbook pro. I use Teams every day, and have some long meetings. The memory use is about 1Gb. I have no issues with it. It is snappy and performant.

Probably far better than Angular, yet will still be ignored by the corporate world... which is a real pity.

Really? you really want to argue that Trump wondering if disinfectant can be injected to destroy the virus is anything other than dangerously ignorant? We have things that can be injected to destroy the virus. They are called "vaccines

I've always referred to myself as a Developer, as my degree is Info Tech, not Engineering. I'm not an accredited engineer, so I feel I have no right to the title. It really annoys me that some manages at work call themselves Rele

Reddit is trying to eat their lunch? Imgur sprung up as a fast image host for Reddit, then Imgur turned into a social media site - a competitor for Reddit. In that process Imgur became shitty at their core function... hosting images!

Sadly I find that the Firefox debugger is more likely to stall and flail about. I keep trying to change to Firefox, but bring dragged back to Chrome. I mostly work on stupidly big Single Page Apps, which may be part of the issue.

You are preaching to the choir here mate. Keep in mind we have over 60 developers, and over 100 single page applications under development/support. The frameworks we are using have been in use here since 2014 (pre-dating the DesignSyst

The agency I work for is doing pretty extensive work to support JAWS 2018/2019, and NVDA. The problem we have is that a fix for a specific issue in JAWS may break NVDA (or cause double reads). Making everything work nicely in our Singl

The business portal already has work underway to replace it. The Tax Agent portal has a replacement currently in beta. My gov itself doesn't have much content on it - or are you referring to ATOOnline ?

Thinkpads are made by Lenovo, who have a very bad history. They have used the UEFI bootloader to install spyware. The mac UI is nicer than the various Linux window managers. Running a mac lets me do cross platform development
