Any good/bad experience using prebuilt VM images that contractors can just download and start working in ? (Struggling with kind of the same issue)
I also tried Amazon Workspaces the day it was released but it looks like the RDP connection from locations with low bandwidth internet connections (where most of my contractors are ) is not good enough to do actual development/coding work

And yet they don't support Go by default :/
Looks like a really useful service if I can get Clojure running in it simply. In order to ever deploy this to production, I'd need a lot more detail on how it works. It would also be helpful to have a path for moving to standard services.
Isn't it a better idea to manage your dev & prod environments using the same configuration management tools so that it's easier to synchronize them? Bowery doesn't seem to have great support for production environments.
You can configure your Bowery environment with whatever tool you use in production (chef, puppet, Ansible, etc) and then export the VMs to whatever production format you prefer.
The primary value add is that if your production system is too large to run on VMs on your computer now you can develop in your prod env

> Install on Mac, PC, or Linux...
Am I the only one feeling this is wrong? I know Apple wants their Macs not be called PC's. But a distinction between PC and Linux is something new to me.

Maybe that should be Mac®...
It's pretty clear that PC in this context means Windows. In the install docs, they mention "Windows" by name as a section heading. It could easily be an SEO thing, having the word Windows on the landing page is bad for business.
To answer your question I think maybe yes, you are the only one.

Feeling "insulted" hardly seems reasonable. Perhaps better wording should be used on the site, and indeed the use of "Mac" and "PC" seem a little off, but declaring that you are insulted by the author's choice of words is more childish than constructive.
To the author: consider using OS names instead.

If you feel insulted maybe it's because you are a fanboy yourself ?
I agree it could be clearer, but insulted, really ?

A fanboy of ..?
Due to so many downvotes I must have not expressed enough the absurd of "PC, or Linux". I know the reasons Apple is branding itself not as PC, I got used to it. But saying "PC, or Linux" is something completely new to me.

As much as I disagree with it, it's not that rare. Steam does the same erroneous distinction, as well.
hey, apple fanboys pay heavy upcharges for all their "not PC" devices & for that they earn the privilege of shaping the marketing vocabulary landscape XD
Are there any other good file sync tools that work on Win/Linux/Mac? Something like rsync+inotify but with a permanent connection between client <=> Server?
FYI: A short readelf on bowery shows that it is written in Go.
