I typically listen to podcasts when writing documentation, but when it comes to real development time, I listen to "minimal techno"/edm as in Tycho, deadmau5, marshmello, apex twins, thievery corporation, ODEZA, Emancipator, Tame Impala
So in the end, there was the initial cost $212 for the lappy (it's really small and lightweight too, great lappy), then a $5 recurring charge for the droplet that I would tunnel and own projects from there.
If you do think this path will be advantages, just be careful, get a simple DNS (hover.com) record too, things change you might want to move to a different provider.
Total Upfront cost: $222 + $5 + $20 doe DNS. Then recurring monthly is $5. The recurring yearly $20 for DNS.
The first Year you are looking at $55, not including the upfront cost.
Then the second year and going forward you are $60/yr and $20/y
The super nice part of all of this. you can destroy your environment with a vengeance, then start up a new droplet and things will be back to normal
This lappy did its job and is retirement with the significant other doing bills and looking at Facebook. Somedays I still wonder if that lappy misses the days of writing code till late in the morning on the back and only having to run the charger cable once. I would like to think it does.
My personal note, stay out of the cool guy editors at first. Use a minimal setup until you know exactly what you will be working on.

Codero is looking for highly motivated Full Stack Engineers in Austin TX and Overland Park, KS.
Codero is looking to hire a Front End Engineer well versed in the art of Javascript. Experience working with Angular, ember, backbone would be desirable.
And if you know how to handle PHP and/or Python that would be a huge plus. We want those that are highly motivated and can knock out high profile projects.
This at least reduces the burden of figuring out what receipt goes with what and I have a copy of it at all times in case of issues.
