Mm, but nonconformity also generally means answering more questions and researching more deeply into various subject matter. All of this causes cognitive load. And if you're spending all day every day tweaking your operating system, browser, IDE, or what-have-you, then you're choosing not to spend time on other problems. I'm not saying that's bad; just that it should be something to be aware of. It's why Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg had supremely boring wardrobes; one less thing to think about, one less thing to take time away from solving other problems.
