Using a macbook for coding games? I can't see the point but... I'm a web developer and don't see the point on using a mac for my specialization (I tried it for 2 years), imagine using it for gaming when gaming on Mac is worse than gaming on Linux.
Also those laptops are cool but I bet you don't need this to code games, you said game developer/programmer, not 3D artist so I can't figure out why you recommend a laptop with an RTX2080, also can't figure out the reason for recommending an i5 with 4gb ram (which is too less for any task nowadays), with integrated graphics as a good option to any person. Also don't know why you forget about AMD having 4800H laptops that runs pretty well on performance and overcome intel on stability (and performance depending the task) when using Linux for coding.
I mean, you can't recommend an i7 with 32Gb RAM, SSD and RTX 2080 which is a workstation/gaming laptop that will fit very well into a 3D designer or high res video editing and rendering, just below recommending an i5 with 4gb ram, hdd and integrated graphics which can barely handle word and browser at the same time without struggling or hanging itself...
You can pick a huawei matebook d14 that's around 600 - 650 U$D with a Ryzen 3500u, 8Gb RAM and 256Gb M.2, and that's enough for a learner.
Note that you are suggesting to master 3D modeling and programming at the same time. If anyone has no idea on one of both worlds this could take more than 2 years instead 6 months. Depending, of course, the target game you want to achieve. A snake-like game? javascript and 2 weeks, a 2D platform game? it could take more than a year for a single inexperienced person, a game like Skyrim? You'll need a team of 100 ppl at least, with diverse roles (writers, 3D artists, different specialized programmers and so...).
In fact, you can code games on a very large range of machines, the thing you'll need is to learn C++ and some framework like Unreal that is widely used on the industry. There's few companies building AAA games using unity (escape from Tarkov, Cities: Skylines, Kerbal Space Program ) while almost the rest of the industry is leaving their own frameworks and engines to use Unity so maybe it's a better option to learn it from the beginning, isn't worth this extra effort?

Actually MacBook is a good thing the optimization it provides for software's such adobe Photoshop or blender is really awesome and if you want to be an indie game developer you need to learn the basics of character modelling also.next thing is that I have build few games on Pentium processor and you are telling and core i5 is not good actually this is not all about performance you have to also look after your budget

The budget is why I'm telling you about AMD options, but nowadays you need 8Gb RAM for a nice performance when multitasking. Agree with modeling but at the price of a shitty MacBook you can get windows laptops that performs more than twice easily so... 🤷

Then pick the highest model from Asus, Msi or your favourite brand; instead on wasting money on a bitten apple you'll invest it into real performance for any task, and you'll be able to replace some parts if needed instead on having to sell it and buy a new one as happen with Apple due to non-replaceable RAM, M.2 Drive and so...
This way you could also play whatever you want on this laptop, or even using it connected on your TV with a pair of xbox one s controllers and get better performance than a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X 😂🤷

Yes bro I understood but what if you have a lot of money😋
