Mizage Divvy

This next one isn't necessarily a purchase - but just knowing how to use your computer well is a big deal. Most programmers/computer users I've worked with are constantly fumbling around and moving windows and closing and opening things over and over and well: they appear very foolish and expensive for no reason. So apps like Alfred and Divvy + shortcuts and just organizing your windows will improve your life/dev workflow and improve the quality of life of the people around you who have to deal with watching you use your computer. This might also come down to MacOS as a tool too.

CleanShot X

I have to document a lot of things because I'm a teacher, so this might not apply to everyone - but CleanShot X is a really great screenshot app, and having a retina external monitor saves me from having to only take hi-res screenshots on my laptop screen. Was it worth $1600? To me, yes. I love the apple display. I've had the LG and a few different ones.
