3 days agoCan’t speak for your situation, but I honestly think it’s because of burnout. No one I know in the coding industry is doing well right now… everyone is burnt out as fuck, stessed and overworked as hell.
It was so bad for me that it worsened my disabilities in October and I’ve not gotten back to work since. Though tbf, I have been working in my FOSS project. Making that a part of my portfolio so I can move on to employment rather than bargain basement freelancing that’s killing me.
But… Do we need laptops any lighter than this? Like, I’m not moving around my 13 inch Macbook and thinking: “oh god this is a beast”. My biggest issue with laptops now days is battery life and performance, both of which my Macbook meets perfectly. Not that I like the OS or the company tbh, especially as a FOSS enthusiast.
