Homebrew uses `mas install`, which will only (re-)install apps that have already been purchased on the current App Store account. This means that if you're setting up a brand-new Apple ID for work, none of these apps have been purchased, and so the `mas` lines fail. To fix this, use my personal Apple ID on the App Store and use whatever Apple ID for iCloud. (`mas` version 1.7.0 will be able to purchase apps: mas-cli/mas#264 ... but will require some custom code to run `mas purchase` since that's not what Homebrew does.)
