Principles Of Effective Developers.
summary
Focuses on concrete changes: create and reuse live templates in IntelliJ, use keyboard refactor shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M instead of copy‑paste, and add shell aliases for Maven/git/kubectl so common commands shrink to one keystroke. Use zsh, Vim editing and an i3 tiling WM (two weeks to reach Vim parity with regular typing), and an Ultimate Hacking Keyboard to avoid mouse context switches. Prefer Quarkus dev mode and localhost integration tests to get feedback <2 seconds. Built a tiny planner called day Captain to block deep‑work slots; it works.
