But we developers like technology. We want to be in full control over our system and our data, right? I doubt it.
Can't agree more:
Usually on a Macbook, you'll tell your OS to download a browser, then, in the terminal of the OS set up your development environment (IDE, toolchain, etc).
I recently got a Pixelbook, and there is a switch of that relation - it is subtle but fundamental. The operating system is literally the browser: ChromeOS! So, as a developer, you want a terminal? Allright, your browser, the OS, will download and launch a container with a terminal! 🤯

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
