macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
It's not something that I've tried. There was a user report at the bottom of this GitHub issue that states sidecar rotation does not work.

How to stop my extended displays from swapping sides when I turn the Mac off or put it to sleep?
Sure, here you have it https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer

Why does my MBP suck so hard at remembering multiple screens?
Install DisplayPlacer. I use it along with Alfred (but you can trigger it many different ways). It's great for multi-monitor setups.

Run AppleScript to change display arrangement.
You can't do it with AppleScript, but there are other scripting options. A handy utility already exists though called DisplayPlacer. If you install that homebrew package, you can then create a shortcut to call SSH scripts. You'd even be able to save different display arrangements in the shortcut and call a specific one depending on where you place your iPad that day.

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling.
> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly
This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.
For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

For instance requires SIP to be disabled.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.
