I mean unless your current machine is costing you time on the job (aka money) than there’s no need to upgrade.

I’m in the same boat as you btw. Doing software development on an Intel MBP. Right now my skills are the bottleneck, not the machine. Maybe that will change in the future.

Am I allowed in the boat with my 2013 MBP that has been destroyed by software updates, making it almost unusable.

would it be correct to assume having a intel MBP is good for dev because of software compatibility?

the only coding i've started is in python & golang but it's for a cybersecurity project im exploring
