Using a Mac in a modern .NET world

I also develop with .NET on OSX, using Rider. The only annoying thing so far was storing the connection strings in those json files— I think using env vars in build configurations is better.

I can't say much other than it's been really nice. To make my workflow smoother, I remapped my right CMD key to hyper (ctrl+alt+cmd) using Karabiner, and then added Hyper+[1-6] shorcuts for switching workspaces. I also use chunkwm to add a wm-like experience to OSX.

I work remotely, so I recently set up sql server via Docker for when I don't have internet. The intro guide by microsoft made it rather easy, and now I have the benefit of not needing to connect to the corporate VPN for dev anymore :-)

Programs I use:

* Insomnia (better than Postman)

* Azure Data Studio (testing sql server queries)

* JetBrains DataGrip (reading/fuzzy searching through stored procedures)

* Dash (offline documentation)
