- "Any project I work on is connected to a million different tools, workflows and services, that all do things their own way, and everything lives in a totally different place, where it’s hard to monitor what’s going on."
- "I feel like anything can break at any moment and ruin my day. I don’t understand any of the tools well enough to be confident that it’s stable, and the worst problems are the silent ones."
- "All the frameworks/libs I use insist on being too flexible, to the point where I don’t know where to start and how to do things. ... Oh and every 10 minutes there is a new tool that pops up that does things differently."
- "I’d rather fight with my brain than with the tools I use."
- "I wish I could just use an IDE that takes care of all the crap for me"
- "There is no invisible ghost that lives in a separate realm (dev environment) that can ruin your work at any time and leave no trace."
