Hi Arrow devs, I wrote some more detailed and opinionated instructions for setting up a development environment for working on Arrow C++, Python, and R libraries in VS Code and Conda. I've found it is helpful in onboarding new devs and getting them productive quickly. Some of it is specific to VS Code; but much of it is also generally applicable (like using CMakeUserPresets.json instead of manually passing CMake args). I hope it may be useful for others in the community as well!
