Its better then ever. 1. Use Chocolatey (winget is still new). You can setup everything via it, and I mean everything - node, postgre, docker, vscode, all browsers, selenium and drivers etc. 2. Learn Powershell, but learn it really good. Adopt PowerShell build system Invoke-Build 3. Install better terminal - ConEmu or Windows terminal 4. Enrich Windows using FOSS and cross platform tools: choco install copyq, flamesh…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No you don't. You are IT engineer, not a grandma (I guess).

I could be both... ;)
