Good luck ever getting in the zone if you do anything with modern blockchains (especially Ethereum.) All of the documentation is terrible and you waste hours trying to find a bug only to realise it was a problem with the library all along... Assuming of course: that you don't give up after seeing the "developer tools." What little tools you have for solving problems feels like you're trying to carve a delicate ice statue with a giant hammer while wearing clown gloves. How do you deal with the related stress of having to struggle against needlessly difficult tools, libraries, documentation, and bugs caused by other people?

Most of the time I've found no one intended for the tooling to be difficult to use, it's just that they didn't know any better or haven't had time to fix it. Those are still early alpha projects so the creators are probably more focused on the core product than the tooling around it. Follow the boy scouts rule: leave documentation and code in a better state than you found it. If enough of us do that it'll naturally get better over time.
