I want to figure out if it is worth it to upgrade to a faster MacBook for faster JS development.
If you have a MacBook, older or newer than mine, can you help me by running the same benchmark as me. As a benchmark, we are compiling VS Code from TS to JS which is one of the biggest open source TS projects I imagine.
- Make sure your MacBook is plugged in and charging at 100%. If you can easily change your Node version, change it to v10.
- Close all resource-intensive programs on your Macbook
- Clone the repository and perform the benchmark:
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
