This is pretty much true for Linux as well, but I mostly use OSX these days. I set up machines infrequently enough that there's a lot of fumbling around while I remember how to do all this so I'm writing this down to have in one place for the next time I have to set up a new machine. This list doesn't include things like Rust, which manages itself pretty well, it's for environment settings and things that need an external manager to keep the environment sane.

Aside from the usual applications distributed in .dmg format, I like the following:

1. Install ITerm2 because the system terminal is kinda lame. I don't typically do a lot of customization but I do add vi mode to the shell by putting bindkey -v into ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc).
2. Create a new SSH key and add it to Github.
3. Install Homebrew -

Kotlin for Java Programmers

• Multiparadigm language
• Statically Typed
• Compiles to java & javascript

"I'll teach you java, let's learn hello world". First word is public. What's public? then static. What's static?.

There's a lot of stuff "you don't need to know right now". Kotlin doesn't make its problems your problems.

"If only management gave me the opportunity" Only constant is change. Point of Agile the ability to adapt to change.

All these assume OSX bash. Most should be portable to Linux.

Not especially happy with this. Feels like I'm fighting the representation.
