iOS development is still mostly local which is why most of the iOS developers at my previous Big Tech employer got Mac Studios as compiler machines in addition to their MacBook Pros. This requires director approval but is a formality.
I read Google is now issuing Chromebooks instead of proper computers to non-engineers, which has got to be corrosive to productivity and morale.
Google issued Chromebooks are not crap with 2GB RAM and Celeron. There were even engineers who voluntarily preferred them. From a security standpoint they are superb.
If you're not a developer and everything you need for your job runs in a browser, what's wrong with a Chromebook?
And has the upside of not having to force an antivirus or Crowdstrike or similar corporate spyware.
> Chromebooks ... to non-engineers
"AI" (Plus) Chromebooks?
