  • Ask HN: What is your development workflow on the MacBook M1?
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Sep 2022
    The battery life on the MacBook M1 is pretty amazing but not having Virtualbox has been a pain and we are exploring options for our new team. I have mostly worked for companies with actual teams dedicated to providing build tools.

    Past attempts to Dockerize all the infrastructure dependencies (e.g. we run our own database and DNS servers) and tying all of that with the build scripts was deemed more effort than its worth so that never quite got going. Maybe its different scratch?

    I have tried a bunch of these projects so while interesting I'm not sure about building workflows around them:

    https://github.com/danielrfry/toyvm

    https://github.com/evansm7/vftool

    https://multipass.run/install

    https://github.com/features/codespaces

    https://medium.com/@paulrobu/how-to-run-ubuntu-22-04-vms-on-apple-m1-arm-based-systems-for-free-c8283fb38309

    I know architecture differences will cause pain, hell here we are already. I think everyone will benefit from crowd sourcing experiences and hopefully we can save each other chunks of life thrown away.
