Can anyone point me to a workflow where the cognitive load is similar to how it was in the good old days?
i.e. some thing that does everything for me apart from the bit where I write application and presentation code? That mostly just works and doesn't require me to understand the whole stack.
Because when I switch to other languages/environments I can most remain blissfully unaware of the plumbing that keeps the thing running. I learned all I needed to learn about pip and virtualenv in under an hour. My C# editor just lets me edit code and hit play.
Is there any chance of getting to this state of nirvana for web development?
