I actually tried to use windows for dev work a few years ago and had an experience that couldn't be more opposite to your claims
In what way?
I'm not going to spend time writing up my experience just for you to tell me it was my fault or it didn't happen. I have been on the internet for a bit now, I know this game. It happened.
So you’re just making it up or you just didn’t want to like it, like the guy in the article. Gotcha.
If there’s one thing windows is unquestionably amazing at, it’s being used for developing software.
lol fuckin called it. I didn't even waste my time typing it up and you still did it.
But yeah man windows is awesome for dev because what you want is a constantly breaking mess where you have to randomly reinstall tools all the time. Fuckin' linux and its "works all the fucking time solidly" nonsense. That shit is for pussies.
You’re talking complete garbage. I’ve been a dev for 25 years. Mac and windows machines. Linux releases and hosting. Never run into any problems you’re pretending are common. Literally never.
The fact that you can’t elaborate when asked says all that needs to be said.
Lmfao. If you like windows after those years, you haven't been. Liar.
That’s just an idiotic take.
Just FYI: I can virtually guarantee you’ve used software that I’ve written code in, on a windows machine.
lol, now it makes sense. You're one of the people developing windows and you emotionally need for it to not be the obvious flaming dogshit that everyone knows it is.
No you clown lol. I’ve written code on a windows machine that you will have used on Linux, on Macs, on what whatever device you use.
