Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a nerd. I like tech and gadgets and speculative fiction, and playing around with programming. It's not my day job, but I'm working on making it a side gig :)
I echo this sentiment. I do spend too much time fiddling with my setup as it is, but I'd like to see some more material on this topic that give a broader and more generally applicable view of tool configuration.
One type of post that's very common is the "here's how to setup tool X in an extremely specific way without explaining the commands/scripts used at all". So you'll learn precisely how to solve one problem, and you better hope it's the one you need to solve. Take git for example, explaining why you choose certain flags and what they do in detail is way more informative.
Another way too common topic is that there are two general levels of scope in articles and guides: hello world or Linux-kernel scale projects. What about solo but actual projects beyond hello world? 2-5 people on a hobby project? Contributing patches to an existing open source project and setting your environment up to play nice with their coding style etc.?

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I'd love to see more developer tools setups for VScode, terminal, browser extensions, productivity applications, etc...
