Workstation hardware at does your company buy developers?
- by Bosh
I'm curious to know what workstation hardware companies are devoting to you, as a developer -- and how much they're spending. I'd consider this thread a big success if I could shed some light on these questions:
Do engineers at big companies use substantially different hardware than engineers at start-ups companies?
Does a fresh developer recruit at Google get substantially different hardware from someone in the same position at Microsoft or Yahoo!?
Do programmers in more senior positions have more powerful hardware on their desks?
Does anyone think faster hardware makes more efficient engineers?
