#2Currently in the process of considering a new machine myself and came across a similar article about the MacBook written by Rob Rhyne in 2015 (http://martiancraft.com/blog/2015/08/macbook-for-developers/).

#3Hey all - I wrote this article. One update: I've since upgraded to a Pixel XL + Google Fi which is a big step up from my Nexus 5.
Happy to answer any questions!

#5My first response upon reading the title: "Answer: I have no dependents." ;)
Enjoyed the article though, Karma was new to me and looks interesting.

Definitely helps! Though I do know a fair number of people who do this WITH kids which blows my mind. Glad the Karma tip was useful!

Great article, lots of tools I didn't know of. Can you provide more info about where I can get that 2g chip outside the states? Sounds very useful to use a service like that.
Also, can you expand a little bit more about the slack integrations? I can't imagine something more than simple notifications for services like github, but you described it as it "changed your life", so I'm assuming you found ways to automate your daily life with integrations.

#8Starting out I'd work anywhere in the world. Now only North America & Australia (Sydney/Melbourne is 5 hrs difference from west coast US).
The remote options are better than local except in SF, LA, & Seattle.

Glad it was helpful! I'm not totally sure where you can get a card similar to the T-Mobile or Google Fi cards outside of the US. I know there are a few "international" sim cards on the market, but I haven't tried any of them myself.
A lot of my Slack integrations these days are powered by Zapier, but for regular dev work + client management, I use simple integrations like Trello, Github, etc. The life-changing part comes from being able to communicate and get updates from the multiple teams I work with in a given day, across multiple companies and groups, in one app that also works on all of my devices.
In my Slack team, I've also set up some private channels where I pipe in things like twitter alerts, flight alerts, etc. so that helps too!

#10"I’m excited to see what Apple has in store at WWDC though. Maybe something even slimmer?"
I'm going to sound like a grumpy old man saying this, and maybe I am. Please, dear god, stop this war on thickness. I want my ports back.
