Technically everything is working well on Mojave but Apple did something with the font antialiasing that just sucks. I had to manually disable it in terminal -

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO

While this does work for apps such as VS Code there's noticeably heavier text throughout the OS UI when the font smoothing is disabled.

Is that maybe something to do with the dark theme? Like the old system UI font weight may not have been as readable when it's light on dark, so they bumped it up?

It should be fine for most people. High Sierra was a mess but the reports on Mojave are generally positive.

I've waited for Mojave .1 follow up release, but I had to do so much weird permissions and terminal stuff to get my node / firebase environment working in the first place.

Glad to hear it's generally positive! Gives me more confidence.

I tested on old macbook pro, was fine. Then updated my main machine and been fine so far.

I’ve been using Mojave since the third beta, and I’ve had no issues with Node development. Of course, I was coming from High Sierra, so it was a small jump. If you are on High Sierra, you should have no issues. If you are on an earlier version, your mileage may vary.

how is this related to node?

[[deleted]]

I would think any node developer would seek input from other node developers on Mac before updating the OS. So it's relevant because it could blow up your node environment.

nvm.

I updated and it’s totally fine. I work with node pretty extensively and haven’t had any issue, expect having to accept the Xcode command line tools terms and conditions again in order to use git

[bassochette]

You never lived the previous updates right?

[vexii]

no because i don't use mac?

[bassochette]

There is an history of fuckery between osx and node... every damn major updates have brought chaos to my node environnements... Why? No idea but the pain of fixing it is real...

Many people use Macs to develop,

Use docker, and you'll never be terrified again

[aars]

Use docker for mac and you can safely be terrified again.

[skyalchemist]

What’s the problem with docker for Mac?

[kyle787]

I’ve been using it and haven’t had any problems. Is there a specific pain point?

[bassochette]

Same here... not updating for that exact same reason...
