For me, true programming joy comes from not having to look at docs. To be able to just write code for long periods of time, without running into something weird happening with a library or tool is the "zen" feeling that I hear lots of others talk about. At work, and in this domain: > I wanted to learn some new frameworks and concepts to help with that, and I decided to make my personal projects a bit more "professional". Use continuous integration, focus more on web stuff, build and automatically deploy containers and so on. It's all docs. It's all "This thing was supposed to happen but ____ didn't do what I expected". Fighting with tools and configuration and triggers and stuff like that is the opposite of zen.
