After being inspired by Andrew Connell and Scott Gruber posting their MacBook setup instructions, I decided I would share my setup since I recently upgraded. The instructions below rely heavily on homebrew and are really more for quickly installing required pieces of software for development related tasks. All commands should be run from the terminal unless otherwise stated.
