I’m the only person I know who doesn’t have issues with the butterfly keyboard…yet. I feel like I’m living very dangerously.
Same! It's totally fine for me!
My problem is the keycaps on command and S and C wear off but it doesn't affect the functionality at all. Confuses the Apple techs every time, but they keep replacing it anyway. -

@aaronpk I also wonder if the 13” would get bumped up to 14” rather than shrunk down to 12”, to match the 15” that got bumped up to 16”. 🤷♂️
Yeah I'm not optimistic there will ever be a smaller than 13" MacBook again, since they are bumping up the specs of iPads so much -

@aaronpk It would seem they’d have to update the 13” MacBook Pro to match its updated 16” counterpart sometime soon?
I'm secretly hoping they put out a matching update to the 16" but in a 12" form factor. I would be all over that in a second. -

Yeah, but then you tie yourself to one chair in that house. :-)
nah I just set up Sidecar to mirror the display to an iPad, then use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse! -

maybe I should just say screw it and get a $10,000 Mac Pro since I'm apparently never leaving this house again
and when I do get back on the road I can remote desktop into it from an iPad or something right? just means no offline development -

Their regular laptops are getting so thin and light, they probably don’t see a large market size for an ultra book now.
But my favorite computer ever was my 11” Air.
Sometimes I use my iPad mini and keyboard for similar effect.
The 11" Air was also my favorite! Tho this 12" is actually smaller form factor but has a larger screen so it's nice. I just wish it was a liiiitle faster, even if it had to be a little thicker. -

I’m going to ask my colleagues. We do mostly golang, React & Ember. That fit your profile?
For me it's: PHP, nginx (custom-compiled), MySQL (MariaDB), Redis, Ruby (multiple versions), Node, in that order.

Trying Surface Go for this reason. Installed Ubuntu. It works, but not great. Windows 10 is good enough, if you can set your dev env there.
Interesting. I do have a Windows laptop that I use for photo and video editing already, I really don't think I can move my dev environment there though. -

I’d be surprised if they didn’t have some popular things on day 1.
Problem is I need the unpopular things, mainly a web development stack -

I'm bemused by the thought that a 3yo computer is "starting to show its age." I have a 2009 Mac Pro, which I only began to consider dated when Apple replaced OpenGL with Metal, which my system doesn't support.
It's probably because it was not a high-end machine when I got it, plus getting it into this form factor means cutting a lot of corners on the architecture internally. When you have infinite space and no power limits you can definitely build a machine that'll last 7-10 years. -

Could you do what you need to on an iPad with a keyboard?
You might also consider going Linux. Most of the engineers I work with have done that
but also are there actually any small linux laptops? smaller than a 13" pro -

oof. I guess since I've already moved my Photoshop and video editing workflow to a Windows laptop, all I really need out of this smaller one is a good web dev environment, so maybe? I'll miss iMessage and Fantastical though. -

They will. ARM based Mac laptops will come in 12 and 14 inch models I’m sure.
Even if those come out later this year, I feel like it'll be at least a couple more years before the software support for things works well on ARM.
