Sad to see people reduce themselves willingly to cogs inside business machine.

You can spend as much time as you want on "configuration of our editor, tinkering with dot files, and dev environments" and otherwise honing your craft, the business machine will still look at you as cogs.

May seem depressing, but the bright side is that you as an individual are then free to find joy in your work wherever you can find it... whether its in delivering high-quality code, or just collecting a paycheck.

Of course, but I said that people see themselves this way.

To be clear, personally I do not find fiddling with configs particularly exciting, but some people do.
