    Your use case is wild. my project also needs 64GB of ram to run, but we moved away from VMs, just docker. m1max builds over twice as fast as our i9 machines did, and m2max was about 15% quicker, but I’m fine with my m1max.

    What’s buggy about VS code for you? I don’t use it as a primary IDE but I find it find for lightweight stuff. I’ve just always preferred jetbrains IDEs, if you’re doing .net I strongly recommend giving rider a go.

      VS Code for osx is fine.

      VS for osx was in “preview” the last 3-4 versions I tried. Things would randomly not work. I would upgrade hoping some bugs were fixed. Some versions were more stable than others. The last version I was trying had a broken “git”, so that pushed me to branch off and commit to the windows VM. (puns intended)

        Oh, lol yeah, I briefly used it before rider. Rider is really just “resharper the IDE”, and VS was always garbage without resharper imo.

        I’d never use git in a gui app, it’s well worth learning CLI git well, once you get used to it you never go back.
