I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I think you can still get by a bit quicker by installing homebrew as soon as possible then using it to install everything else.
You could put everything you want to brew install into one file and then keep it, and your collection of dotfiles, somewhere in the cloud (like github for instance). Then all you need to do is clone the repo and run one script to get everything installed.
Take a look at brew bundle! When I'm starting up a fresh mac machine, I usually brew bundle dump to get a Brewfile with a list of all the dependencies/apps I have installed. Then copy the Brewfile onto the new machine and brew bundle. It saves a lot of time :)

Also: I have an install script using GNU Stow on my github which might be helpful. I don't explicitly install any apps there, though.
Homebrew can install a lot of the things that already have Mac installers (like VSCode for example) so compiling a list and running through it in a single install script means you go make a cup of coffee and it just works.

There are a few people who've explained how they do it here already, but you could look at these:
