Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer
I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals

[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)
[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
MonitorControl- use the native DDC/CI of external monitors to control their brightness and contrast and volume through the menu bar rather than the physical monitor controls

A long list of problems with MacOS (and their potential solutions)
Solution: Monitor Control.

TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
MonitorControl (simple manual controls, doesn't yet work on M2 Macs though)
The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).
