My problem is when I go to do something simple in, say, visual studio, and it flat out doesnt work. Then I spend the next 3 or 6 hours, or 3 DAYS on google and stack overflow, installing, updating, uninstalling, hacking. Nothing works anymore. Nothing. It makes me insane. When I started in xamarin, it took a month of Saturdays to get it installed, and get the emulators working. It completely turned me off of the experience (it's better now). I am learning Angular, and all the documentation and tutorials from as little as six months ago are outdated and dont work, but you have no idea what is new and what is old, what works and what doesn't. When I do get these things to work (and I always succeed, eventually), I feel no satisfaction. It's just this war that goes on and on.
