Building a web server: Installing the right software
We wanted this machine to be as lean as possible. There is only so much memory and processing power to go around. Remember, our machine has 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 processor with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. We also wanted as much of that space and power to be used for serving up our web applications. However, we also wanted to have an additional option for editing any code files, in addition to vim.

Lightweight dev tools.
I used to be a pretty heavy Vim user (RIP Bram), but when I started doing a lot of remote pairing with less experienced devs I realised that they were sometimes having trouble following along when I was driving. Their experience was basically "click click click" some text whizzes around the screen.

The Future of the Vim Project
From what I can tell the reason is that thatโs the way it was always done. As I understand it, back in the days before there were distributed version control systems, Bram was the only one who could commit to the code-base so he would credit the actual author of a submitted patch in the commit message. He continued this practice after the Vim project moved to Mercurial (and Git).

A distro for 12 year old laptops
AntiX is definitely going to be the fastest of the recommendations here. I have it on a Core Duo with 2G Ram and I am really a very big fan of that distro. It is all there, sometimes it takes a bit of time to get use to its quirks, but it is worth powering through. You have the option of three lightweight window managers and then there are two file managers that are used to give you some desktop functionality. Take some time to learn which one of those options you like the best. Here is a screenshot of my setup after fiddling with it a bit. For a lighter weight text editor/IDE check out Geany.

Bash script help
I did copy-paste your fenced code into an editor (geany). Some of the indentations use tabulators, other explicit spaces. I recommend to stick either with one, or the other. Note, good editors allow you to use the tabulator key and -- on the fly the editor inserts (an adjustable number of) explicit spaces into the source code. In case of geany, this is available from the GUI via Edit -> Preferences, then Editor -> Indentation. Get in touch with your peers/colleagues, and adjust this accordingly (e.g., 2, 3, 4 spaces per tabulator key/indentation level; frequently either 2, or 4). Once if you all agree on a format in common, exchange, maintenance and collaboration (think e.g., GitLab/GitBucket/GitHub) is going to be considerably easier. (No, I don't know if there is bash code reformatter as e.g., fprettify for Fortran, yapf/black for Python [where indentation actually is functional], or rubocop for Ruby.)
