Unfortunately, a fair amount of software development is just trying to guess what asinine solution there is to the current asinine problem one is facing. Rather than actually spending what little time we have on this earth actually working on what we are trying to get set up to work on. Like, when a supposedly all-in-one magic build tool never says anything anywhere about the fact that it has to be run in the current directory. Or, like, when there are troublesome glyphs in a path. Or, like, when you have to do a clean build, or else. Or, like, when there's just a really deep seated bug in the code and you have to patch it. Or, like, a cross-platform tool that is brittle with respect to line endings. Or, ..., you name it. Puke. Epic failure on the part of the humans.
