Got my MBA earlier this week and even after reading a lot about it I’m blown away.

I had to reach for experimental VSCode for native support and haven’t got neovim and ripgrep to compile natively. But luckily for Advent of Code, Elixir/Erlang is native so everything runs twice as fast for that :slight_smile:.

I heard the fan for a brief moment yesterday. I was running Postgres, a Rails app, Docker (with Redis running), Chrome with 20 tabs (one playing video, YouTube) and Steam running Oxygen Not Included at 60fps.

The fan turned on and spun up for a minute or so and then stopped again. :exploding_head:

I still haven’t heard the fan more than that one time.

I currently have Slack, VSCode, PostgreSQL, Docker (running Redis), a Rails app, Chrome with ~30 tabs, Notion (Electron app) and a bunch more running. :sweat_smile:

I am so happy for this little machine! :heart:
