Here's a nice side effect of a bunch of developers falling irrationally in love with the MacBook Neo: performance optimization might be more front of mind.
I'm working on a little personal app that works great on my M4 Pro, MBP. Yesterday, I built the project on the Neo and suddenly realized that the performance is not nearly good enough on that device. This has led me to dive deeper into what the bottlenecks are and how I can improve them, and now the app is just faster everywhere.

Obviously, performance should always be on our minds as devs, but the incredibly performant hardware we tend to be working from can mask issues. Getting developers working on slower systems acts as a bit of a forcing function to get them to pay more attention to this, so that's nice.
