Mac setup for web & mobile development in 2022
My last setup was nearly 100% covered by Thoughtbot's laptop script: https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop. Now I am highly inspired by @rwieruch and his personal setup documented in a post from February: https://www.robinwieruch.de/mac-setup-web-development. I will combine "copying" system preferences from my iMac, updating my old script based on Thoughtbot's and picking additional highlights from Robin.

Show HN: We open sourced our new Mac developer setup script
Nice work! I’ve used a similar script for Ruby dev (actually I use it as a reference rather than just running it, but still useful): https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop
The oldest commits on this script are 11 years old and nothing in the last year, which seems quite stable. At the same time I was able to ask an intern to just run it, and bam! they have everything they need installed.
One use for it that surprised me was hearing a colleague saying that he reinstalls his OS after every change of client and runs the setup script again so there’s no fear of IP theft but also no downtime from having an unconfigured machine.

Show HN: We open sourced our new Mac developer setup script
Ha, I also have something similar[1], but I use a mix of profiles and flavors. I have two profiles: pkg for installing packages and user for configuring user profiles. Profiles are then broken down further with flavors: dev for development packages, desktop for desktop packages and configurations, and so on.
I found it highly amusing that we're taking similar approaches for a lot of things: a wrapper function for sudo and fetch, and OS detection (especially the appending WSL suffix part). Mine is not as idempotent as yours, and having a per-package definition is still in my TODO list, though.
