It's fun to customise and learn, but going forward I'd rather defer to sensible defaults so that I can spend my thought cycles on solving software problems, rather than fixing all the weirdness that arises from my customisation.
I'm a big fan of Prettier for this very reason. It just works. It's decent. It lets everyone get on with writing software. If a project has ESLint, there's a high chance I'm going to be talking about semi-colons, or looking at oddly line-broken code. Someone else is going to notice it too, and want to fix it. Then we're all talking about the Airbnb config and what customisations we're going to make.
In recent years I've:
- Quit using Colemak and gone back to Qwerty
- Stopped using vim and went back to IntelliJ
- Stopped using custom fonts, themes and just stuck to defaults
- Become more selective about what plugins I use
And I'm suprisingly (or unsurprisingly) more productive.
