I took advantage of the national subsidy to buy a MacBook Pro with 32GB and 1TB of RAM over the last weekend. I'd like to ask developers how to develop elegantly on a Mac. For example, I don't want to install many databases (MySQL (5.7/8.0+), PostgreSQL, etc.) and multiple runtime environments (Java, Python, Go, Node (I only know Java, and I'm not very good at other things. I want to learn more about them later)) on my mac. How can I keep my mac relatively clean? I don't want it to be as messy as on Windows (I have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder). I also welcome your suggestions for useful tools (for development/entertainment, etc.). I'd be very grateful.</p> programming beginners
