Your Desktop, the Studio
summary
Claim: making the computer a happy place produces calm and control after boot and small investments pay off. Evidence: a half hour a day learning vim, switching to VS Code Live Share, and adding git log with flags and shell aliases; an office survey finds almost everyone says a neutral laptop is a long day. Outcome: configuring the environment raises confidence, speeds onboarding, and makes pairing actually work.
