yeah, building demos is really fun. but then you have to actually make it a functional part of a business with tests and regulatory compliance and integration with other products and customer requirements, and new developers who didn't build the original demo start working on it, and then you remember why all that complicated and inconvenient tooling exists. just building demos and then abandoning them doesn't pay a whole lot of bills, unfortunately.
