  • lima

    Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  • iTerm2 and lima [1] with a ARM64 Linux virtual machine w/ Rosetta enabled me to fall in love with my MacBook Pro in this regard. i feel more productive than on a Linux machine now. MacOS is not without its developer power tools, if you dig around enough!

  • asdf

    Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more

  • What benefit would joining your cult bestow upon me that brew does not already?

    My brew list is intentionally very short and my faffing about desire is limited.

    Generally I use brew to pull in asdf (https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) to install programming languages/tooling, it works flawlessly.

    I use Pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx) to install python thingies (such as yt-dlp) as a cli. Go and Rust handle binaries in their languages beautifully and without issues.

  • InfluxDB
