A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This seems more approachable than NixOS/Guix, which I see as state or the art for declarative hosts.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-... aims to flatten the learning curve for NixOS.

Our Roadmap for Nix
We're onto the pedagogy thing. Check out the Nix book efforts: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-....
Regarding the language and "configurations" specifically, you might like what we do with Nickel: https://github.com/tweag/nickel. Research project showing a potential future for Nix.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
Wouldn't say there's a steep learning curve for the language itself, it's pretty easy to get a grasp around it imo. Here's a helpful page I used to quickly get familiar with the language: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p
What's rather messy about Nix is nixpkgs with its helper functions all over the place alongside pretty shallow / non-existent documentation (which is unrelated to the language). Thankfully they've started to work on that recently: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-...

Linus Torvalds statement
To get your Linux ready to use after a fresh install you might have an Ansible playbook to get the system ready to go with all the tools you need.

Optimal way to backup Macs without Time Machine
Not public. But you can search YouTube for geerlingguy and Ansible Mac. I got the idea from him https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
- How would you set up your work laptop differently if you had to do it again?
-
A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This is how I set up my Mac as well; just a local connection. Sets up out of box Mac in about 15 minutes and I can keep my two Mac's configs in perfect sync: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
-
Anyone have a checklist/plan for when they migrate to a new Mac and do a fresh install?
One way I have seen is to use Ansible and a playbook - Jeff Geerling does this here but that's a bit OTT for me.
-
Getting my first Mac from work. What are some good work related apps to try out?
Jeff Geerling has a Mac Dev PlayBook repo that is pretty close to how I would build my system.
-
Trying to automate the “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen” setting.
There is, I use this with some of my own customizations https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Your favorite automated method for duplicating your setup on a new machine?
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete script for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed (mac-dev-playbook)[https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook]

Script to setup all dev tools in a local environment
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete tool for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed mac-dev-playbook And if Ansible if just too much, try this simple way to code, document, and replay bits of your installation scripts with this tool I wrote recently and use to deploy systems daily. markdown_exec

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
