It’s crazy to me, after I stopped being a teenager, to spend almost any time customizing my computer to this point. I used to tweak every screw but when I started working I did the bare minimum to get by and be productive.

Shoehorning things into what they don’t want to be is something I only do behind compensation.

I used tweak my computer like crazy as a teenager as well for fun and then when I entered the workforce.

Now I've started to work part time and so I have a lot more free time and energy which made me pick this up again. It's been a lot of fun and I learn so many things that I then bring into my work. I've switched back to linux from os x and stopped using vscode to instead use emacs.

People who do this kind of thing primarily do it for fun.
