I was the same, started with a full size keyboard and needed everything. Then went to a 70% and dropped the numpad. Then recently dropped the F keys. Now I have a num row but don't use it and use layers instead. Latest is going to the home row mods someone else described - never thought I'd find them ok but it's actually easy to get used to.
Having layers for special keys is the main game changer, it's so much quicker for coding. Underscore, dash, quotes, brackets/parens, all just where you want them to be.
