Hello i have a problem with my mac i wanna install a virtual machine with virtual box but there’s no version of virtual box that suits to my mac book air M2
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.
the M2 mba won't get that toasty to the point where it'll substantially degrade the battery, you'll likely burn your hands or lap before you damage the battery. That SoC is already dissipating heat close to the battery as it is, this helps to cool it off quicker and spread that heat over a much larger area. It'll be fine, it won't cause the battery to fail lol
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.
Horrible advice. Our eyes did not evolve to stare at huge blue light emissions for hours everyday. Dark mode is healthier for your eyes. But it’s preference. Light mode causes me eye strain but I’m not going to say something as stupid as “light mode will make you a bad dev”
@@w.umbology Please read the context and do some research before you post. First, I never said anything about staring at huge blue light emissions. Maybe you are an Na'vi from Avatar idk. And quite the opposite, blue light only takes up a very tiny part of our human's visible spectrum energy wise. So, our eyes evolved to work with bright light, not blue light. Nevertheless, blue or not has nothing to do with my argument about brightness. Light mode doesn't equal "blue" or maybe you only use light mode with blue accent, but that's your Na'vi thing and none of my business. Again, I'm comparing light mode (higher brightness) vs dark mode (lower brightness) with the same white point setting. There are countless themes both light and dark for people that are blue-sensitive like solarized. There is also "night shift" mode on most platforms for this specific purpose. Furthermore, most monitors we use today don't emit harmful amounts of blue light anyway. Second, I specifically said dark mode is bad for people with "astigmatism". Let me help you understand what astigmatism is if you didn't bother to do the research. Astigmatism is imperfection on the cornea that causes different parts of eyeball to focus differently resulting in blurry vision. Such blurry vision and related discomfort can be mitigated by reducing the size of our aperture, which reduces the area of imperfect cornea that takes part in the imaging process. In extreme cases, like under sunlight, the aperture would be so small that our eye is more like a pinhole camera that has the minimal effect of astigmatism. This is also why people with imperfect eye sight tend to "squeeze" their eyes when looking at distant objects. This is also true for most optical systems, the smaller the aperture, the sharper the image. This is a scientific fact, not personal preference. Since we can't actively control our aperture, the only way to make it smaller is to let more light in, hence working in a sufficiently lit environment.
I have astigmatism and I switched back to light mode too some years ago. It indeed reduced eye strain a little bit and I feel more focused when reading black letters on white background so it's not fake.
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!
hi there, im a student who is learning ios app development, can you recommend a macbook which would be good? im also on a budget however dont mind spending if it will be better overall but also dont want to waste money. thank you kindly
@@HM-hi2jr go for air m1 or pro m1 depends of your budget… but I said you should to get air m1 with 16 ram and it’s enough. Then you can get pro versions
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)
thanks for sharing fnm - wasn't aware as I have always used nvm and my shell was really slow indeed to the point that VSCode is complaining at startup too at times!
What would you recommend between MacBook Air 13,6" 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD or MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16" 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD 10 CPU and 16 GPU for most web dev with VS Code and some Xcode for iOS dev programing when I'm traveling ? The M2 (2022) 14" and 16" is too expensive for my use
@@EmilyOen macbook air m1(13.3) will be good seeing your requirements Like as you mentioned you travel often . If compatibility is not an issue go for pro version
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
Great video. Some may question why you spent so much time on basics like setting up macOS for a video targeting programming which is more advanced. However, I work with a lot of offshore developers who tend to know the code reasonably enough but have never used macOS before.
Python dev here. I use pyenv for local system versions of python. Poetry for repo level package management, dependencies. And tox if I need to test my code against multiple python versions. And I like flake8, flake8-bugbear, black and pytest, for linting, formatting, and testing. I've been using this setup for a year or 2 now, only problem I've had is a couple weird hiccups with pyenv and poetry not working together, but that was solved with some shell configs.
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?
As a beginner developer, I made a mistake by watching this video. You rapped through this set up so fast, I was lost. It was a little intimidating...probably should quit while I'm ahead....or in this case, behind 😂
this did help in getting more extensions that are needed for vscode while i am on windows. do hope to get a macbook later for coding. just copy and paste from videos would help. great video over all. still have to set up docker. postman didnt go through for me. over all great video. Note ; i did get a packet from coding dojo gonna try that out, great tips over all.
I'm currently using windows + WSL2 for my work and saving some money to buy a macbook, I'm still torn between macbook pro 14 or m2 air with 16GB. I also mainly code in python and node (currently using tensorflow for a project) and docker.
@@kerpetenali1312 I finally decided to get an m1 air with 16GB/512GB config. I realized that the M2, performance wise won't really give me much of a difference so I made a practical decision.
Interesting video, thanks. One point though, at 2:50, I have never seen anyone removed apps from the dock, using right click then choose "Remove from dock." Just drag it out from the dock. Cheers
Love the video really nice and super important information for MacOS software engineers especially for beginners !!, The thing is I'm also a beginner but i use a Windows 11 laptop, Can you please make a video on how to setup a widows 11 laptop for programming ?

I just got off another video showing how Google Chrome was a security risk as well as Brave... As well as looking at the Privacy Policy for Google Chrome and media articles highlighting the issues in the past... I'm doing Cyber Security at the moment, and probably will get into programming in the near future, so might need to implement another browser for that when I do.
Great video for compsci! If I may, I will say the colour correction comes off a little harsh when you're showing the actual computer display, although I really do love the warm aesthetic.
Andres, thank you for accepting and using viewer feedback in videos. I'm always on instagram adding my opinion to what you should do for video ideas and, although mine isn't always picked, i love these videos. Edit: Should i really download brave for my PC? i am currently a chrome user and do use an adblocker.
Brave is built off chromium, has high quality built in protections/blockers and updated frequently. If you really wanted security you would use Firefox + Custom Plugin/Setup.
