Got a new Macbook Pro (gotta add the pro at the end) at work, and have literally spent the whole day adding in all the stuff I “need” to make it my own development box. It’s amazing how much stuff you end up with that you quickly come to rely on. My short list seems to include:
- Quicksilver
- Macports
- NetNewsWire & Marsedit
- WeatherPop Advance
- Textmate
- Omni Group Stuff (Omnigraffle Pro & Outliner Pro)
- Micrsoft Office: Mac
- Eclipse & Webtools
- SVN (through Macports)
- … which means Apple’s developer tools, for GCC
- Maven
- Colloquy
And I’m sure a whole bunch of crap that I’m forgetting right now… It’s amazing how easy it is to justify all this upfront investment for productivity down the line 🙂
