Yesterday I had a very interesting task for a client. I work as (brace yourselves for a cool title) "Head of curriculum" for [School of Applied Technology](https://www.study-at-salt.com/). They create and run bootcamps and the first one we are running is "Fullstack JavaScript developer with React and Express". That title means that I've been creating the content of the course together with the person (Jakob) teaching it. 

Ok, to the point of this post. Part of this work means that we need 33 students to get up and running with their developer computers super fast. We want code to be written after a few hours. 

Said and done - I created a set [dotfiles](https://zachholman.com/2010/08/dotfiles-are-meant-to-be-forked/) which will configure their computers properly with all the tools and (my opinionated) settings they will need. 

Yesterday 33 MacBook Pros came to the Aptitud office and 5 hours later I had installed, configured and test them all. <commit_msg>Fixed stupid spelling error<commit_after>---
