It's not just personal blogs as many of y'all know.. this is a daily struggle in any SDE mainly working in web .. I am constantly lamenting the fact I spend like 70% of my time at my main job (large financial company) just trying to get my environment , or the application's environment in a position to actually develop on the application itself .. It's insane.
I f'n love javascript .. it's allowed a lot of us a doorway into software engineering where a lot of us realize how ... 'special' js and related web development are ;) .. But man it can make you really want to smash the computer some days.
