I just spent 3 days debugging a bizarre frontend issue. Turns out I just didn't understand how webpack works and was loading it wrong.
And once I fixed that, I had to fix my postcss config because something somewhere had a breaking change at some point.
I feel like almost everything I learn these days is how to deal with the idiosyncrasies of dozens of versions of dozens of tools. My actual programming ability is stagnant. That's what's burning me out.
- dntrkv 5y agoDo not use Webpack for small personal projects. Zero-config tools like Parcel are much better for that.

Googled it, without any meaningful search results. Just a small taste of my day, another rabbit hole to get lost in for a few hours whilst deadlines for actual work are looming.
