If you do something even slightly unusual you can quickly get into a situation where you spend more time debugging your toolchain than writing code.

I really hate the state of modern software. We have so many layers of utterly unknowable abstractions that it isn't even possible to understand what your code actually ends up doing.

And that's how we ended up with Electron, which I think is the pinnacle of shitty software driven by the unsustainable paradigm of libraries on abstractions on libraries.
