Is "development environment as code" a thing?
Jeff Gerrling does a load of great work on Ansible, including a Mac automation repo, here. You can use it on local or remote machines. It's really cool.

Switched from 1Password 7 — my take so far
I've used it and it works exactly as advertised. There's also an Ansible role for installing and running it that I much prefer to shell scripting.

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I symlink a few files in place via Dropbox, but have most of my local configs in a dot files repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/dotfiles
Then for more systemwide configuration, I have an Ansible playbook I run every now and then (configures apps, dock item order, etc): https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
