What additional complications do you anticipate?

In my experience, taxes are based on your home address and your employer’s address of record, regardless of where you physically go to work.

Python, JavaScript mostly. Not sure the processor (it’s a 2019 model year, tho). 16GB memory.

Snappier/more responsive UI-wise than the 16” MB Pro I got from work, fwiw.
