That no production server on the planet runs Apple Silicon, so I'm building on, and supporting, a platform I won't ever run my software on. After quite literally fixing an architectural issue in OTP/BEAM caused by Apple Silicon, it dawned on me, it's literally nothing but increasing costs all the way down. If ARM gets widely adopted on Desktops I'll change my tune, but for now, it's pretty garbage in the real world. I spend time fixing bugs and dealing with bullshit on platform I'll make zero money from. This is compounded by the fact, I've quite successfully and happily moved to Linux for my workstation. Like there's nothing in MacOS I miss, not a fucking thing... because Linux in 2021 is all the good things of an x86-64 Mac with the ability to play nearly (any) game.
In MacOS, I've never been able to to play games (relax) and be productive on the same machine. Now, I am on the daily, and it's literally fucking free.
If I hadn't spent a few weeks slogging out a fix for an arch issues on Apple Silicon, followed by a successful move to Linux there's no way I'd have this perspective... but some-fucking-how... I did and so I do.
