As part of moving to a new job, I'm going to end up with a new Macbook Pro. As such I'm going to have a super clean slate to start with and I'd like to tackle a goal of mine I've had for a while - a fully automated system configuration.

Logically step 1 here seems to be the What question: What am I going to try to cover here? I've come up with a short list that makes sense to me:

• Restore keypair from TimeMachine backup
• Install Python3 and pip
• pip install Ansible

Now that I have a basis for automation, I'd like to do the rest via ansible playbook if possible:

• install Homebrew
• Setup various OS preferences (iCloud login, trackpad, dock, display, etc)
• install Firefox
• sign into Firefox
• install VSCode
• setup dotfiles (should just be a git pull)
• install/configure BashIt
• install/configure Go
• setup extensions for VSCode (python, Go, Ansible)
• setup AWS CLI (boto3, botocore)
• configure AWS CLI

Now's where you guys come in. What am I forgetting here?
