I have a list like this. It occupies a dark recess of my mind that I try to avoid. If I actually wrote down a list like this I might actually do something about some of these weaknesses. (I do make the occasional effort at another chapter in the Haskell book.) One huge glaring weakness is source control. I fucking hate source control. I want to write, tune and perfect my code and not worry about merging up, merging down, resolving conflicts, figuring out what came from where and what it meant, and dealing with whitespace changes. I hate being unable to improve my code in little ways because "it will make the merge harder". I hate shepherding my changes from my branch, up to the build branch up to trunk, and dealing with everyone else's crap on the way. If I have to use source control -- and I do as long as I work -- then please, oh god, please make sure I never have to touch CVS, Clearcase, Visual SourceSafe, Subversion, and most especially git. Each one of these has screwed me badly. Yes, it's my fault, for not loving source control. You know what? I also don't want to know how my digestive tract works. I just want it to work and mostly leave me alone. If I have a problem with source control, it's like dealing with the after-effects of bad meat. Unless I'm using git, in which case it's like bad meat laced with razor blades. There, I said it.
