(Now, in reality my shiny new MacBook Pro is waiting for me at home, while IвЂ™m in Palo Alto for my first week. But whereвЂ™s automation potential there? If each one take 10 minutes to find and install, multiplied by say 50 (yeah, youвЂ™d be surprised how much stuff you install), that means IвЂ™m spending a chunk of my first week at work not figuring out the coffee situation (seriously, that only makes it to #5? facepalm).

ThereвЂ™s lots of reasons why, but fundamentally most application developers donвЂ™t agree with AppleвЂ™s T&C and know that most folks are happy to roam across to their website to chase down each app. The problem is only about 10% of the tools and applications I use on a Mac are listed in AppleвЂ™s walled garden. And yes, in fact, AppleвЂ™s App Store for Macs does something pretty similar вЂ“ you log into your account and it lists all the apps you had previously installed via the App Store. Installing all your must-have apps on a smartphone is easy-peasy, especially if youвЂ™ve already been living in the same ecosystem with your previous phone. OS X has its App Store, which should in theory make this sort of menial task a breeze. So starting a new job means amongst many other (far more important) things, setting up your new work computer.

If you get the chance to speak to anyone from this team at VMworld, your local VMUG, etc, then ask them why and take the time to listen carefully. Trust me, if youвЂ™re an architect or engineer responsible for designing and/or implementing VMware solutions in your datacenter, then the technology this team is working on will have a material impact on how you do what you do in the next couple of years. IвЂ™m sure IвЂ™ll be writing some articles here about what weвЂ™re up to in the coming months. ThereвЂ™s lots of super interesting work going on there, and very cool, smart folks to learn from. IвЂ™ve joined VMwareвЂ™s Validated Design team within the Integrated Systems business unit as one of their product managers. Yes, IвЂ™ve moved on from Coho Data (an awesome scale-out, high performance, high-bandwidth enabled, distributed, shared nothing, enterprise-class, freakishly good storage product вЂ“ give them a call if you have storage needs for VMware, docker images, OpenStack, Big Data, etc). This is a post about Homebrew and Cask, two package management projects for OS X CLI and GUI applications respectively, and why theyвЂ™re so useful when it comes to setting a new Apple Mac.

Mac OS X вЂњapplication installation automationвЂќ вЂ“ now say that 3 times quickly! As for my OS (Lubuntu 18.04 LTS): Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. I'm using python3 via linuxbrew and today it seems there was a crucial python-update replacing python 3.7 with 3.8 altogether.
