macOS - please confirm my process to connect Mist to private node

Most of the community is mining and creating private networks on Windows/Linux but I'm using macOS for my tutorial and learning so I would like conformation that I am doing it correctly. So fat it seems I have success but any tips would be welcome.

I am not mining. I have simply created a private network so I can interact with Mist and build Dapps/contacts.

genesis.json

Code:

{
"coinbase" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
"difficulty" : "0x20000",
"extraData" : "",
"gasLimit" : "0x2fefd8",
"nonce" : "0x0000000000000042",
"mixhash" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"parentHash" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"timestamp" : "0x00",
"alloc": {},
"config": {
"chainId": 15,
"homesteadBlock": 0,
"eip155Block": 0,
"eip158Block": 0
}
}

Initialization:
geth --datadir=./chaindata/ init ./genesis.json
geth --datadir=./chaindata/

Connecting Mist to private network / start the local test network
geth --dev

Get Mist to connect
open -a /Applications/Mist.app --args --rpc /var/folders/y1/jynwfrwj411bxck8whqgcbr00000gq/T/geth.ipc

Correct?
