My Company Told Me They Don’t Care About Me by Buying Me a New Macbook Pro
<p><strong>The Secret Developer</strong> is an old, irrelevant person. They might claim to be a successful keyboard jockey but they’re a grumpy old stick in the mud. Worse still, they change their mind about the most important issues in computing.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Isn’t this a personal attack? Is this allowed in computing?</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>The Complaint</h2>
<p>The Secret Developer wrote an article about having an old laptop. The story of that machine is right here:</p>

<p>Long story short a general complaint is developers don’t get the most powerful machine possible. They usually want the best machine to cut down on their compile time.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I spend most of my time waiting for a machine to compile. I’m THAT fast at coding</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>The Secret Developer’s employer bought them a new laptop. A brand new MacBook.</p>
<p><strong><em>You would think that The Secret Developer would be happy with this. Yet they never seem happy.</em></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>I’m happy on my birthday. That’s enough.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>The Complaint Mark II</h2>
<p>The complaint boils down to these issues with that new MacBook 14" M1 Pro</p>
<ul>
<li>It’s not the latest model (Apple doesn’t sell this machine anymore)</li>
<li>They didn’t ask the developer which machine they wanted</li>
</ul>
