"Personally I want to build systems. I don't want to spend my day debugging all kinds of weird problems."

Don't we all, I guess we all crave that snap, click, build -feeling Lego gave us. But in my experience building a system means debugging all kinds of weird problems. At least, when I start something, I usually for a long time feel like I'm just hopping from weird problem to weird problem. But, TBH, those problems don't seem weird anymore as experience grows.
