that conda env setup was really well done :) and this vid is 🔥!

Subbed since you had 3k subs, even back then the quality was soo good but now you've just took it to another level, keep growing ✨✌️

Usually intros suck, but yours was brilliant! 💎 It reminds me of all the students going with their laptops into cafés and working on their project while smooth jazz music is playing in the background.

Putting thermal pads and using the external casing for additional cooling will lead to spread the high heat to more fragile parts like the battery. I wouldn't recommend doing that it might lead to battery failure or at least to faster degradation in the battery department which you shouldn't want especially with an ARM chip that is being used and probably reduces the degradation in the first place.

i love your tech organisation. actually makes the 400pound husky organiser worth its value

As I software developer I recommend this computer if you don't have much money for the pro version... I have exactly the same laptop with 512 GB SSD and 16 of ram and it's perfect, I work as a web developer but my passion is mobile apps it's perfecto for all developer environments, you can display multiple emulators (ios or android) at the same time and works perfectly!

Great setup. It's similar to my setup. A few alternatives:

nvm --> fnm (nvm slowed my shell startup to a crawl)
Oh My Zsh --> Starship (again, this alternative is faster and lighter on the shell)
Compass --> Studio 3T (required if you work with DDB, also has more robust aggregation features)

As a sofware developer I would like to share some more tools for MacOS that I find useful. All of them are free:

- Rectangle: Window Manager with customizable shortcuts
- Raycast: App Launcher with more utilities like calculator, file search tool, clipboard history...
- Notion: Productivity workspace
- Bitwarden: Password Manager
- Spark: Email client
- Tomito: Pomodoro timer

Currently in my last two months at coding dojo!! coming out with two full stacks (python, flask, mysql) and MERN! Love that they sponsored this.

For devs with astigmatism, do not use dark mode. Dark mode will make you a bad dev due to eye strain. As a general rule for eye care, make sure to have sufficient lighting in your office. That's what our eyes have evolved to work with.

I have no words to thanks for coding dojo because of they are sponsoring for these type of videos, I love these type of videos ❤️

[Wigor]

nice explanation, i'm from brazil and i don't speak english very well, but your video encouraged me to buy a macbook air to continue my development studies

[gamal]

I spent a month searching on YouTube for the same of ​​this video, but I couldn't find it. Thank you. I've been waiting for this video for a long time

[paulnkosi]

I'm speechless don't have the words but what I can is that loved it man n thanks for sharing on what's needed for programming... U the best. 🙏

[ezioahmet]

This is really useful, I'm going to be switching to Mac at the end of the year! Love the videos!

[emmanuelkolawole]

Who else isn't a Software Developer but still loves to watch Andres's videos

[TechGlamazon]

how do you manage to work as a programmer on a 8GB ram ? i know its not everything but i know that you need at least a 16. or because its mac its like a 16GB in windows?

[xanxx]

Just bought one. Really REALLY USEFUL content migrating from windows to mac.

[GrumpyCoder]

Iterm2 is a game changer I freakin love it!

[debojyotichakraborty]
