Everything I install and set up on a new MacBook as a web developer
I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; Iām still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.

Yabai ā A tiling window manager for macOS
Has anyone transitioned from moom to magnet?
Rectangle is another oss option: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle
I bought Moom long before rectangle came out, both are pretty decent.
I like rectangle [0]. It fits my needs well enough without requiring disabling SIP. I especially like the ārepeated key presses resize a window on the same sideā feature, so I can get cycle the size of the window on the right side of the screen from 1/2->1/3->2/3 easily. I miss i3 sometimes and this aināt an identical replacement but it gets the job done! Turns out I donāt move my windows all that often anyways.
Why would you pay for magnet when you can use rectangle, which is the same but open source? https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

SQLite Schema Diagram Generator
Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?
I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.
So if itās the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.

You're Installing Node.js Wrong. That's OK, Here Is How To Fix It š
I have always either installed Node from the installer provided by the Nodejs website or, via Brew in macOS. I have also used nvm in the past but did not know that there was a best practice to guide us.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
