Fellow feeling readier for coding with a Mac (11)

I believe the answer is:

camaraderie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fellow feeling' is the definition.
'camaraderie' can be an answer for 'feeling' (I have seen 'Friendly feeling' mean 'camaraderie' so perhaps 'feeling' could also mean 'camaraderie'). I'm unsure of the 'fellow' bit.

'readier for coding with a mac' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'readier' is 'raderie' which is within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'mac' is 'cma' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camaraderie that I've seen before include "Comradeship" , "all that backslapping?" , "Main theme of Friends" , "Esprit de corps" , "Friendly sociability" .)
