Also if you're working in docker environment, the target deploy environment is not going to be ARM docker. So you'll need additional steps for build/testing - the docker you develop is not the docker you deploy anymore.

I'm sort of feeling like you are at the moment. I doubt my next laptop is from Apple.

Comment Disruptive workflow for docker devs. (Score 1, Interesting) 280

If they move their Pro line-up to ARM, a lot of current developers will be in "trouble" (*), due to docker being the "de facto" deployment tool these days. It will disrupt the workflow.

I doubt they'll announce ARM for Pros though? The "consumer" devices make more sense.

(*) They won't of course be in trouble until they switch to the new hardware and at that point they'll have to see if going with Apple hardware is the right thing to do. A Dell XPS becomes quite attractive alternative.

While the "many eyes" can be theoretically a better model, practice has shown very few actually look at Open Source software with security in mind.

Even critically important projects like OpenSSL.

Security review takes time. Time is money (even in OSS world). Security audits require money. They don't get done, unless commercial entity (using OSS) commissions them.

The "many eyes" is a really bad security model in practice.
