This is the meta post — the one that ties together everything from this series into a single, copy-pasteable setup guide. Each tool has install commands, each step says why it matters.
I wrote this because I'm lazy. Turns out that's a quality in a developer. I want to bookmark this, point an agent at it on a new system, and have it set everything up. I'll spend a day debugging things that will save me ten minutes every day from then on. Fix and forget. Automate myself out of the loop.
What this covers
This series has six articles so far. Each focused on one angle. This one combines them into a single end-to-end setup you can run in a weekend.
You don't need all of it on day one. Each phase has a clear stopping point. Do one, ship something, come back for the next.
