Protip: "brew list" will list all installed packages, including dependencies, which you might not want. What you probably want is "brew leaves", where it lists all installed packages that are not dependencies of another installed package.
This makes a difference in cases where a dependency is no longer needed in the latest version.
On a related note, why does the majority of package managers make the common and simple task of "list all manually installed packages" so incredibly hard?
For a fun brain twister, try to list all the manually installed packages on your system by just reading the man pages and no internet. Ubuntu is nightmare mode for this challenge.
