I like to customize my text editor to fit my work flow, a text editor on the web gives me no control. I like having control over my environment and it is usually a "set it, forget it" mentality.

- runako 13y agoWelcome to the Starship Enterprise. I have yet to see an enterprise dev stack that a competent developer can get up and running in a day, without "cheating" by being given a VM or preloaded laptop. Lots of reasons: - the setup process isn't documented - the stack isn't documented - the above are documented, but the documents are a year old and obsolete - sample data? Go ask Jim on 3. Jim doesn't work here anymore. - etc.
