How to setup a macOS development machine

By default macOS environments are configured to execute lots of different types of applications, but executing things and compiling things are two very different activities that require totally different libraries and system configurations. The following steps will change those default behaviors to make setting up and maintaining development projects a whole lot easier. IOW, this is how to setup a macOS development environment from scratch.

Every project is different and every Developer understands that in order to be effective in today's modern world of programming tools you have to be able, and willing, to wear a lot of hats. This phenomena is often referred to as "polyglot programming". But before you can do that effectively you need to understand your machine and how to turn it into a swiss army knife.

We will be setting up seven specific technology capabilities (in this order):

  async run() {

      console.log('long wait');
    }, 5000);

    this.start()
