It is so true. I have seen experienced developers pull their hair out for a day or more trying to get a basic build system working, or to import a simple module.
I have been that developer.
I have been that developer, tried to communicate the lessons learned to other developers, and ended up finding out they couldn’t learn from my mistakes and had to reinvent the wheel with many hours of frustration anyway.
I develop in Node and Sveltekit regularly and the chances that on any given day my flow might be crushed by random madness is unacceptably high.
I’m not even sure what I think about it all.
