    With how powerful Apple Silicon chips have become, I've noticed a lot of developers using Mac Minis either locally on their desks or as remote nodes for heavy compilation and background tasks.

    For those of you working with macOS in your workflow, do you prefer keeping the hardware right on your desk, or is setting it up as a remote node a better approach? Would love to hear your thoughts!"

    I've got one that's holding up a lamp! but it was a good option when I did actually use it. I had it locally and could switch devices easily.

    At least it's still useful! Having it locally does make switching between devices much easier.
