I’d personally prefer more hardware for the money, including when its being bought by others. But I also have to replicate client environments (though at a much smaller scale), so its kind of a cheat code for “buy me that” or “I’ll be keeping this for 6-9 months and you can buy me a replacement when this one gets delivered to you”.
I have the same preference, but companies keep giving me macbooks to use for work no matter how many times I ask for a cheaper (or better specced at the same price) Linux laptop.
I have a MacBook at work simply because our Systems and Security teams don’t want to support linux. The only other option is Windows 11 and i don’t need that nightmare.
How about getting the people who pay you to buy you over-priced hardware?

I think I need another GPU heavy project.
