Apparently Twitter and Uber are giving their software engineers the latest M1 Max-powered machines to accelerate their workflow. It seems that he isn’t the only one who believes that the new MacBook Pros are great for developers. Of course, it is difficult to really quantify the enhancement in productivity, as developers aren’t robots that will get on to the next task immediately as their current task is completed, but this is a pretty good estimation. This is done by accounting for the cost of the developers’ time that’s spent just waiting on the slower laptop. Williams estimates that getting the MacBook Pro with M1 Max for a team of nine will cost the company about $31500, but the new laptops will break even in 3 months via the savings on engineering costs. ($31.5k up-front cost) + (Time lost waiting on builds with 2021 MBP) * (Hourly rate of an Engineer) (No upfront cost) + (Time lost waiting on builds with 2019 MBP) * (Hourly rate of an Engineer)
