- I've been using homebrew for so long, I can't tell you how much it has helped me to spend more hours developing and less managing packages and updates, etc. Thank you so much, congratulations on the update!by khalic
- And that's the end of Homebrew for me as a user. I like the app, but my old Intel MacBook apparently can't handle it anymore.
I'm back to the old installation methods !
by basedpolymer - Awesome, I just checked and had already upgraded at some point. I run the alias command below every now and then which keeps everything up to date.
alias u="brew update && brew upgrade --greedy -y && brew upgrade --cask -y && brew cleanup"by asadhaider - Farewell, Homebrew. It's been a good run.

by aydgn - The GUI is pretty sharp, but I don’t like it uses emoji instead of SF symbols.
Is it Claude or Codex built?
by internet2000 - I found that Mise handles all my needs for development and it is scoped so it doesn't try to update Python and break all my virtual env when I install something new /shrugby Sytten
- TIL Homebrew has its own sandbox mechanism - looks like it's built around their own sandbox-exec wrapper, at least on macOS: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/d79ef822ab8136e393ed5f...by simonw
- Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 7.0.0. The most significant changes since 6.0.0 are faster installations and upgrades, stronger sandboxing, a native macOS app, built-in vulnerability checks and an advisory database, the end of macOS 10.15 support and Intel Macs moving to Tier 3 (announced last year).by mikemcquaid
