Sounds like you are spending more time battling with your own tools than doing actual work.
Do you think, just maybe, it might be interesting to play around with these tools without worrying about how productive you're being?
My ideea of a good time is understanding the system in depth and building it while trusting it does what I expect. This is going away, though.
If anything such tedious obsessions can just cloud a person's mind against creating something interesting that does turn out to also have long-term import. I mean, I assume i'm talking to either a troll or an idiot given the weird rant you replied with, but it's good to remember that value doesn't always come in a specifically molded form.
