Well, even if you follow a guide. There's tons of things I did that the guide doesn't cover that I fine tune to the detail. I definitely wish I had something so easy when it took my first time of setting up a server and it took a few days to get things "mostly" and "partially" working.
Even if you are very seasoned, there's still quite a bit of setup time and lots of different places you have to go to compile assets. Hours with possibly things missing versus minutes with dead precision is a huge difference.
