I'd love to hear any advice on what makes a good web developer's

At this point I don't have a lot of places to ask, other than

who'll just sell me as much as they can con me into.
I just got a new MacBook Pro today, and I gave my one year old MacBook
Pro to a co-worker. My new computer has a glossy display, and the
reflection is terrible with a black background in the terminal. I am
okay with a white background, which makes the reflection go away, but
if you code on a black background, make sure you get a computer with a
matte display.

I also have a MacBook Pro. Same issue with the glossy screen.
I got the glossy because I thought it would be more durable...
Having said that, I really like the machine and I take my dev env.
with me wherever I go.
A little off topic now...
Took me a day or 2 to get used to a white background.
Btw, I use vim, and open white backgrounds for my dev, and use
different
colors for ssh to db servers, production web servers, etc.
I think it helps to avoid confusion and potential problems, especially
when I'm tired.
