My company is currently working through this.

The entire dev team has Macs. Most have Intels. Many are on M1. Some are on M2.

Security/IT teams feel the pain, dealing with all sorts of weird things. And their solution lately is saying "fuck it" and giving the dev a M2. Which is a bandaid as what if M3 and onwards continues to break something?

Fortunately, my team builds software and runs everything through docker.

It's not like this came out of the blue. The PowerPC to Intel transition was recent enough that it's still fully documented on the web with forum posts by frustrated users. It's Apple. Their attitude has always been that users have to deal with it.

I do the same. Docker buildx to the rescue.
