Just turn off SIP. SIP is for regular users who don’t know what a ulimit is, the whole point of SIP is to lock down the OS as much as possible.
If you’re a developer, you live in the Terminal, you obviously need full control over your OS.
edit: I appreciate the irony of being downvoted for suggesting having control over your OS on Hacker News, so keep it coming please. Mo’ downvotes mo’ irony.
You aren’t being downvoted for telling people to have full control over the OS. You can do that with SIP enabled, or boot to recovery, disable, modify, enable, and have full control over your OS. How often are you needing to modify low level OS config that you’d rather make your entire machine vulnerable to root exploits than dance around SIP a couple times a year if that? That’s why you’re being downvoted, for advocating folks make their machine way less secure to save 3 minutes worth of reboot time a year, if that. Bump the hard limit once and you never need to touch it again.
3 minutes worth of reboot time a year for this, 2 minutes worth of reboot time for that, 1 for something else and 2 extra for no apparent reason. My previous company switched everyone to Mac and the second biggest reason I quit that job was that Mac was a horrible OS to work on. Constant reboots, crashes, no configuration for basic things like scrolling or window placement. Apple builds great hardware but the OS is only good to make presentations and edit video, not for software development.
I’m sure there are newer equivalents to what I’ve listed. I’ve been using those programs for years.
Some jumping off points
