Windows 7 was my gateway to computers, mostly for schoolwork and browsing the web. But my coding journey didn't start until I got my hands on a MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra in college. The fact that macOS had a Unix-based terminal built right in made setting up my local development environment for web development so much smoother than trying to wrestle with Windows paths at the time.

Windows 7 was arguably one of Microsoft's best, but moving to macOS High Sierra for development makes total sense. Having a native Unix environment right out of the box without dealing with environment variable paths, Cygwin, or third-party terminal emulators was a massive competitive advantage for macOS during that era of web development. It just let you focus on the code instead of the tooling.
