    Just a PSA regarding Bartender (which I have used for years) but the original author sold the app onto a company that seems to have a rather "sus" history. Also the the recent update seems to have added a fair bit to the application size without additional functionality leading to some thinking a bit dodgy may be going on. Might want to look for alternatives for that such as Ice or Hiddenbar.

    I've been using macs for coding since 2015 and as nerdy as I can be, but figuring out, that "desktop" hot corner actually shows every hidden icon there, while in Shortcuts such feature is not available, let alone holding command without any hint, that this will help...shish. You did an amazing job. Made my setup 1% better. I was just going to the desktop folder, but this is much better.

    with yabai and skhd for tile management you can jump with shortcuts to whatever window is required
    of course, on top I have alacritty as my terminal with neovim and tmux ready to multiplex and loaded with lsp extensions

    hey man - first day Mac user here! I found this video which has helped a lot; switching to a new operating system for the first time in my life is quite something lol. I tried to run the commands for removing the delay while keeping the animation with hiding the dock automatically, but the animation doesn't work. It's instant now but I can't get the animation to work anymore, restoring defaults also doesn't revert it back to what it was like before. I'm using an m3 pro, if that has to do anything with it. loved this video btw :)
