I can relate. I had the write code to interface with a legacy backend once -- it was dreary. Flow implies a certain degree of momentum/autopilot, or at least a state where one thing flows into another. It's kinda like hitting a set of green traffic lights and you get to cruise right through. Unfortunately, when the underlying problem is really disjointed, adjusting environmental factors don't really help. I guess one way to solve the problem is to break it down into little pieces, brute force through them, and see if they lead anywhere. Once you get past the activation energy, then flow starts to happen.
