It sounds like I probably haven’t gone deep enough into macro territory then.

Still, when having to do things with JS/Python/C++ I’ve wasted many afternoons down the rabbit hole of trying to glean information from Github Issues, stackoverflow answers, Twitter threads and obscure forum threads — usually to find the problem (and fix) I ran into was so trivial it could have been a single line in an error message. (I feel like a lot of JS tools - particularly Webpack, Jest and Babel - have regressed a fair bit recently in this regard. Python just fails silently (or bizarrely) too often and C/C++ compiler error messages are often less readable than the code itself.)
