My personal recommendation is to do some self reflection on what things are most important to you when it comes to spinning up a new project and build your own kit. This is your tool bag as a developer. I have seen a lot of people try this and fail because they aren’t building a personalized kit, they are putting together popular dependencies. That is radically different. When you build your own kit it is tiny and extremely portable. You dig into the nuts and bolts to see what works and what plays well together. Since it’s all your personal preferences you maximize on productivity every time you use it. The best part is that you only have to build it once. Then after it’s a few hours of maintenance every six months as your requirements and preferences evolve.
