Once you understand how it all works, I'll grant that that can take years, it doesn't take much time at all to debug upstream code. Just last night I was playing around with the jsonapi-resources gem, and found an issue that was keeping me from being able to dynamically generate resources. After realizing I couldn't work around the issue through more metaprogramming, I set about monkey-patching the code. It got too late so I couldn't finish the job, but once I do, I'll get it working for my project, then package it up and make a pull request so I don't have to support it myself. Ruby is definitely wizardry but it's accessible wizardry.
