It had clearly struggled performing both a Final Cut Export and a screen recording at the same time. The Pro didn’t at all, and as several people in the comments section of my video noted, it’s probably down to the RAM.

This is going to be a fascinating few years for the Mac. I can’t wait to dive more into the M1 and see how it compares against its Intel equivalents, but if my test proves anything, it’s that not everything is quite what it seems when you look beyond those raw benchmark figures.

Life’s a tumble, but overall I kind of like it — and having the mind space that automation affords me plays a great role in that. So here is what I automated this year to save me hours of time, effort, menial work.

Incidentally, I also edited the video at the top of this blog with the M1 Air. And it did a superb job. However, that potential RAM issue did rear its head again during what was a relatively complex timeline; the odd beachball surfaced and frames consistently dropped. That wouldn’t have happened with the 16' MacBook Pro.

The most important thing that I did in 2020 was to go one step further and made sure to run all my scripts at system startup. Having automations is nice and all, but if you still need to click the script, worse even need to navigate through the console and run a python script you end up wasting time — and more importantly you waste mind-space.

Now to get to the first real automation: An automated content creation pipeline. What this does for me is to keep all my writing projects organized, set them up, structure them and back them up — and that all took just an afternoon to set up.

I’m deeply impressed by the M1 MacBook Air just three days in. This test was fascinating not just because of the way in which it murdered the 16' during the rendering test, but because it was given a dose of its own medicine during the export.

Surprised? Yeah, me too. And isn’t it weird how that’s the case, given that we should really be rooting for the 16'? Alas, its performance with the colour grade set brand new expectations for this equally nascent Apple silicon-powered computer.

Without thinking, I decided to sit back, wait and stop the screen recording on the Air. And then it sped up — big time. In fact, the cancelling of the screen recording propelled that little machine onto an export speed not that dissimilar to the Pro.

On my desktop computer I do not even notice a slow-down when I get to work even though my scripts take the first five or ten minutes to run — it is just a no-brainer that saves me a lot of time and mental capacity. Set things up once, keep running everything automatically ever after.

Most scripts do not take a long time to run, or they can easily run in the background on modern computers. For example I have a whole bunch of Selenium automations that can run “headless”, meaning that they are invisible and you can keep working like normal, just with slightly reduced power.

2020 was a great year for me — this little annoyance of a global pandemic aside. I moved out of the city, have five months left at my job, automated my life, sit here now with an uncertain future and all the freedom I could wish for.

This illustrates that for all the hyperbole surrounding the launch of the M1 — and I’m just as excited as everyone else — it is still incredibly early days. More importantly, these Intel-powered Macs still have plenty of life left in them and shouldn’t be kicked to the curb quite as quickly as some in the tech press seem so keen to do.

Reading will also enable you to grow as a person — by reflecting on the discoveries made by others and contemplating the discoveries still to come. Never stop growing. Always find time for reading in your day.
