workbench

• Reproducible working environment

• Save all configurations as plain text and keep them under version control.

• Full responsibility over what's added and removed. Never copy any config blindly.

• Stick to defaults but customize as necessary. Keep customization minimal to ensure operability in any environment.

• "Unix is my IDE"

• Consider the Lindy effect before introducing new tools or configurations.
