I did do ansible https://github.com/CraigJPerry/home-network https://github.com/CraigJPerry/home-network but I've decided it's overkill for my dev machines. I still like ansible as a layer on top of AMI images when I spin projects up in the cloud though. I don't want to have to go install iotop when I want to use it, I want to just know that my tools are present and ready to go. But I consider this a different type of machine from my dev hosts. As I see it, the best solution on a dev machine is to make it easy to install software I might need in future. That means having a package manager available and access to my preferred configuration. On linux I just need my dotfiles repo available on the box, on windows I also need chocolatey installed.
