Depends on the type of dev you’re doing.

Homebrew. Through homebrew: vscode,iterm2, Firefox, virtual box and/or vmware fusion, colima + docker, vagrant, pyenv, jenv, direnv, nodenv, bash, zsh + oh-my-zsh +powerlevel10k, tmux+byobu, coreutils

I’m sure I’m missing a bunch

The same can be said of lemmy, mastodon or any publically accessible forum

With bluesky ,the sign up has a section where you choose a server. The bluesky server is prefilled. Otherwise you add your own.

But not having that default option and instead having to have the user go research and figure out which server to use is an immediate turn off.
