X-Code asked me if I want to enable "developer mode." I said "yes." Are there any risks using "developer mode?"

X-Code asked me this when I created my first Playground.

All this does is allow certain things to run which helps you debug your code. In other words, its fine.

Not that i know of, i enabled it and nothing has gone wrong so I'm guessing it doesn't pose any risks to your computer. Hope this helps : )
