I recently wrote this abstract and thought this could also make a nice blog post.

Five Workspace Antipatterns and how to Overcome them

I'll explain the following antipatterns and show solutions how to overcome them:

  1. Full Build: Stop running full builds, your IDE can do this before you need it.
  2. Occupied Workspace: Stop postponing work because your workspace is occupied by your current work, just start more workspaces.
  3. Reuse Workspace: Stop pampering your workspace, just create a fresh workspace for every task.
  4. Manual setup: Stop copying commands from READMEs, this can be fully automated.
  5. Detached setup: Stop the guesswork and missing setup updates, start versioning your setup with your source code.
  1. Dumb Reviews: Stop reviewing dumb text changes, start using a workspace during code review

Are you still planing on writing this article @meysholdt ? Maybe Notion would be the better place to collect blog post ideas.
