Over time I have started to think more about remote machines or containers to help with this. The problem with that for me is remote is great until you loose Internet (hey it happens more often than we think).

Right now I try to keep my automated script up to date for all the big things, but here's my starter.

  • I start with Xcode to get the command line tools.
  • Next is brew and run my script.
  • I recently started using this great script (paid version) Ruby on Mac Prime. It keeps Ruby and other vitals unto date without me chasing them all the time.
  • Then it's 1Password so I can access accounts easily.
  • JetBrains tool suite.

And that's my basic starter, doesn't sound like much but it gets all the things I need in place to start with the other things.
