Content didn’t really follow from the title. It seems like OP wants to minimize unnecessary effort when working towards their goals. I notice it myself in someone who is mid career. I manage the workstation software environment for a group of users, and some of the software versions are a couple of years old because they do the job at hand, everyone knows the UI, etc. I had an intern over the summer and he “upgraded” a station to the latest of everything, modified the terminal profile with mods, tricked out VIM instead of our pre-existing IDE, and so on. I think maybe one of these changes were actually useful, and the rest broke some dependency in our setup that he had to go fix, or I had to get him to revert when someone else needed to use the station. We also have a new hire who keeps using the word “Dockerize”, which makes me wary
