macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
It's not something that I've tried. There was a user report at the bottom of this GitHub issue that states sidecar rotation does not work.

App to change display arrangements
Alfred + "Display Placer" extension is the easiest/free way to go. You'll need to install the "Display Placer" open source app beforehand (here).

Why does my MBP suck so hard at remembering multiple screens?
Install DisplayPlacer. I use it along with Alfred (but you can trigger it many different ways). It's great for multi-monitor setups.

Run AppleScript to change display arrangement.
You can't do it with AppleScript, but there are other scripting options. A handy utility already exists though called DisplayPlacer. If you install that homebrew package, you can then create a shortcut to call SSH scripts. You'd even be able to save different display arrangements in the shortcut and call a specific one depending on where you place your iPad that day.

Tip for if you're using 3440x1440 displays with macOS
I’ve gave up solving the issue, but I do get around the issue by making use of https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer and assigning it to a hot key via Automator.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
When I was annoyed with this I went ahead and downloaded phoenix (https://github.com/kasper/phoenix) wrote a little javascript and now I have a bunch of globally accessable hotkeys so I can lay my windows out in a number of combinations. Right now I have setups for over/under left/right, two by two grid, and three by three grid.
I've got some plans to spend some time enabling more arbitrary grids and subgrids but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Hyprland, a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on looks
Actually, if you're interested at all, I just, after literally months of reading about this, found a pretty sick solution.
Have you ever heard of Phoenix? https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/. Despite googling around for this exact topic, with 3.8k stars I had never heard of it. Apparently someone has created slim, JS scriptable interface that is basically tailor made toward creating your own tiling WM. I just installed it and loaded one of the examples: https://github.com/nik3daz/spin2win. And what it does is basically ignores the built-in spaces and creates truly virtual desktops by just hiding and resizing windows. And it works pretty well. The response time between switching "desktops" is basically instant.

Has anyone made the switch from developing in Windows to macOS? Any general or specific advice about the switch?
Get a window tiler. At the very least, you'll want one that can maximize (not fullscreen) and split windows in different configurations. Some options here are Rectangle, BetterTouchTool, or Phoenix if you like to tweak and customize.
