Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

Beware of Xcode 14.3

How does the community handle new Xcode versions releases?
We download new version (using Xcodes https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes), see how broken it is, fix surface-level issues, then give the build to QA. After everything is fixed and polished, switch to new Xcode full time and clean up legacy and deprecated stuff
