I find myself exhausted after a time, when I have to switch between 2-3 apps and many more tabs trying to co-ordinate things or when debugging issues with a teammate. And this is with me working professionally for only ~3 years.

I think the tools are nice to use early on but quickly become tough to manage as I get caught up with work, and can't keep up with the best way to manage them. Takes a lot of mental effort and context switching to manage updates or track things everywhere.
