Once again, I’m having to remind a person that coding is a team sport and personal choices are bullshit.

Every deviation you make from stock is something else you have to put into. The onboarding docs and convince all your coworkers to install. They won’t. Or they think they will but will miss a step or machine. Or for language specific tools, they’ll use a multiversion tool like asdf or nvm or ram and have to reinstall again every upgrade.

It’s not up to me. It’s not up to you. It’s up to us. And if you can’t see that, maybe you shouldn’t be working with other developers. Or maybe you haven’t been and you need to.
