You Don't Need a MacBook

You don't NEED a MacBook. I often get the question "Everybody on Twitter is using a MacBook. Should I save for a MacBook to get started with coding?" You can code on Windows, Linux and Mac. Use what you already own or what fits your budget & goals. You'll be fine.

A Twitter-style post explains that beginners do not need to buy a MacBook to start coding, since Windows, Linux, and Mac all work. The joke is a practical reaction to the belief that programmers must own expensive Apple hardware, often shared to reassure or mock people who overfocus on equipment.
