I don't think you really need to do all this. Macs aren't far off being usable machines in the first place.
I'd do homebrew and a better terminal and (if my development stack was that way) install docker and/or vagrant. The rest of it's all very specific to a particular development stack.

On a more serious note, I would not do this:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib

simply because there's no reason to and you're messing things up for anyone else who wants to use the same system. I know, I know, Macs are usually one-person machines, but they run unix and are theoretically multi-user. Why try to break it?

Yes this kind of thing are very opinionated. I work with non particular Stack: c#, .Net Core, Web and Mobile. Hope can be used as guide. You give me a good idea, organizing it as stacks.

About /usr/local/bin you are completely right I'll add a Warning about. Just use in case you machine is used by only one user.

Thanks!
