Understood! So it's ideal to share what I found and leave a comment instead of sharing as a text. I've signed up for Hacker News for years and this is my first time trying to be active. :D

I rarely submit post. Is it possible to create link in the text?

I'm not a front-end developer, but I've learned a few important lessons while trying to set up macOS to learn front-end development. Feel free to share your tips to improve the setup for macOS users.

I redesigned my blog and started writing again during the quarantine. I've also run a clean install on my Mac because it couldn't boot for some reason. One valuable lesson I learned during the clean install was to set up the development environment correctly. I should've realized that most people don't understand Unix directory structure. As a result, they run `sudo` if something doesn't work.

I wrote the guide to myself, but I emphasized the importance of dependency manager in the post: https://sayzlim.net/setup-macos-web-development/

It becomes much easier to learn a new framework knowing that I've installed everything correctly on my Mac. No more struggling with permission errors.
