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.

Just got a Mac, what are some of your must-have apps and software to have on it?
I like Phoenix, since you can program it exactly to your needs in any flavor of JavaScript.

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
For certain concepts that I don't understand fully, I'm using chatgpt-shell. It is beyond fantastic and almost impossible to describe in a single post. This is, for example, just one of my use cases: When I'm writing a comment or a message to my colleague (and of course, yes, I edit just about any text in Emacs), I can select a paragraph and ask chatgpt-shell to improve it. It does, but it also shows me the diff of the changes, that is how I set it up.

Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux
I’ve been using hammerspoon for several years and it has really become integral to my workflow.
You may want to check out the extension package spacehammer[0]. It includes a bunch of workflows and shortcuts that I’ve found extremely useful.
Interestingly (for me at least), it’s authored in Fennel [1], a lisp that compiles to lua. I actually found spacehammer originally when I was working on converting my personal hammerspoon config to Fennel.

Hammerspoon – Lua-based powerful tool automation of macOS
I'm a big fan of hammerspoon, but not so much Lua. I also use emacs with Doom, where a lot of bindings are behind a 'leader key'. I found an awesome framework called 'spacehammer'[1] that fits very well into the way I like to work. It similarly hides binding behind a leader, and it's written in Fennel, a lisp that compiles to Lua. I feel like I get to expand the customizability of Emacs out to my whole system and I love it. Hammerspoon is pretty bare on its own so I suggest you check out spacehammer even if it's just a show case of the potential of hammerspoon.
What are some alternatives?
displayplacer - macOS command line utility to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements. Essentially XRandR for macOS.
hammerspoon - A hammerspoon config with a bunch of custom spoons (sleep timer, resolution changer, paywall buster, safari hotkey utilities, window management with undo, etc).
