rebootthesystem,  you have simultaneously some of the best and worst views on productivity I have ever heard.  You seem to understand human factors around burnout and work quite well, but completely misunderstand an engineer&#x27;s relationship with his or her tools.  It is precisely because we are not unskilled factory workers that we can and should each individualize and tune our tools to our liking.  I would hope that you at least don&#x27;t forbid the use of editors such as emacs or vim.
