Our workstations are our de-facto tools of the trade. Yet many engineers spend little time investing in or improving their workstations. Having a great workstation can make you more productive, enjoy your time at your workstation, and even create connection with your peers. In this episode, I review what I prioritize in my workstation and the factors that are important to me for every piece so you can get a head start on making a fantastic workstation for yourself.

One of the most powerful and important axioms in software engineering, in my opinion, is "Ya Ain't Gonna Need It". This axiom tells us that we shouldn't be implementing code on pure speculation of customer needs, but rather wait until we have solid evidence of the need from customers. I explore multiple personal stories of this in action, tips for recognizing when speculation might be occurring, discuss language to combat it, and how we can also apply this to some of the code we write.
