You don't need the fastest computer in order to open word documents or write clean code.
you do if you use eg a jetbrains IDE and your codebase is all dockerized and requires 34 separate containers to be running and also the company makes you install a "security" software that constantly scans every fucking file on the machine....
Also don't forget having to run electron apps like Slack that a lot of companies use.

modern software is absolutely incredible for all the wrong reasons
