Wiping my computer

Today I wiped my MacBook Pro to factory defaults. I love the feeling of a freshly wiped computer, a blank slate to start fresh with. A chance to break away from bad file organization habits, remove unneeded login items and cleanup the menu bar. A hope that my now ancient M1 Pro can still be productive (especially when my new iPad absolutely smokes it). Thanks to iCloud, setting up a fresh copy of Mac OS is very fast. I’ve been pushing myself to stick with default apps more, so most things just resume syncing right away (Reminders, Notes, Calendar, Mail, Messages, iCloud Drive, etc). Outside of the defaults, I’m being intentional with what gets installed this time around. I’d like to have a max of 1 app in each category (ie not 5 code editors). I’m replacing iTerm with the stock terminal, Zed with Nova, Claude with Antigravity CLI, Fish with the default Zsh install. Here’s to a fresh start install!
