If you're the only one that logs into that machine using the 'someone'
user account you can put it in '/home/someone/.bash_profile'. If
that's not the case then things get a bit tricker.

If you normally login from the same IP (and you're the only one that
logs in with that IP) you can test the SSH_CONNECTION environment
variable.

if [ "`echo $SSH_CONNECTION | cut -f1 -d' '`" = "your_ip_here" ]; then
  source lots_of_dev_variables.sh
  cd /projects/blah/blah/blah
fi
