> I want environments to just work. I want code to just compile. I want containers to just run. Without me having to start digging through documentation, looking at thirteen Stack Overflow threads, and cobbling a solution that will inevitably break 3 months from now.

Sometimes I conjure up the inspiration to actually implement an idea that's been on my mind. Then I spend half a day trying to setup an environment that just fucking compiles.

I'll spend several days kicking at an open door before I actually write any code. In most cases I just give up before this point.

Do you work with C++? Because that’s how it feels to me every time I decide to go with the language

[MaxBarraclough]

Are you thinking of the build system specifically?

[pantelisk]

If you don't mind me asking. What stack are you working with? And how do you approach things?

My experience has been very different (was able to validate ideas and mvps extremely fast, sometimes even in a day/night - but I am very product driven which I think makes the whole difference (meaning that I care to see if the idea works from an end-user perspective first, the rest comes after and only after the project has grown for a while))
