Not us, we did FW dev. Not every SW engineer is a web dev working in cloud, even on HN. Also in web dev many run and test things locally so working with good machines helps.
Also, the equipment you get shows you how little a company values its engineers and how much it values its management. If they insist on giving you the cheapest bottom of the barrel laptop and monitors they can find, they probably won't pay you competitively as well. A lesson I found the hard way.
Yea, to back up the point some more. I work on a completely desktop enterprise solution. So there is no offloading the work from my machine either. Our test suite even on moderately fast hardware still takes about 10 minutes to run the full suite parallelized.
