Ask HN: How do you find (again) joy in software dev with so much setup?

It takes days to set up the development environment. There are never ending libraries, frameworks, settings to do. Hours upon hours goes in configuring these and they are so finicky. One missed configuration somewhere can ruin one's day.

All I want to do is write code and do creative work. How do you get over this? How do you find joy (or at least not hate) in development again?
