The Lesson: Why the M1 you kept is more "Industrial" than the M5 they want you to buy.
In the 1980s, at companies like Sun and IBM, we didn't build "gadgets"; we built infrastructure. When you document a power grid or a workstation meant to last 15 years, your "Why" is Stability. You learn that the hardware is a vessel, not a fashion statement.
Today, the industry tries to convince you that the "How" (the newest M5 MacBook Pro) is the magic. But as veterans, we know the truth: The hardware is just a pane of glass. By running the latest OS on "old" M1 Mac Mini hardware, you aren't being cheap—you are being an industrialist. You are proving that the value lies in the synthesis of information, not what "typewriter" is used.
To Tech Writers: Stop chasing the latest tool. Master the ability to make the tool irrelevant. If your work can't survive a hardware migration, it isn't "Wheat"; it’s "Chaff."
