What you're seeing and describing is endemic to the entire field of programming. You will encounter it at every level. Frameworks keep being invented left and right which address solved problems, or solve non-existing ones. Meaningless busywork. This will never stop: it is human.
Don't fight it: embrace it. Navigating this wasteland is part of your job. A keen eye for separating wheat from chaff is a valuable asset.
Learning to code is only step 1 in learning to program. Learning how to choose your tools, and what to ignore, is just as important.
- gt_ 9y agoThis does help me a lot to get this response. I personally actually love downloading and testing small tools and sometimes worry my search for better tools or the promise of better tools is a distraction. But, maybe this willingness to continue the search is just highly correlated with my fascination and interest in becoming a programmer.
