SSD degradation due to software development usage - via @brynary

http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-SSD-Reconditioning.html

“Six months of experience with the Intel X25-M solid state drive (SSD)
on the Mac Pro revealed the severe degradation of write speed to
roughly 1/4 of the original speed, with unpredictable pauses. This
behavior was induced by intense usage of the SSD for software
development, an inappropriate use for an SSD, because over time it
involves the creation and deletion of untold millions of small files.”
