Has anyone made the switch from developing in Windows to macOS? Any general or specific advice about the switch?

• Rectangle

  310 20,006 8.2 Swift

  Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

  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.

• alacritty

  115 44,086 8.8 Rust

  A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

  

  Alacritty plus tmux is great, if you ignore their weirdly strong preference of yellow-green over green

  Install iTerm2, configure oh-my-zsh and a good terminal prompt like starship or Powerlevel10k. Might want to save this one for last since there can be a lot of tweaking involved. Some tutorials/guides might help here.
