A lot of the modern tooling feels like a rube goldberg machine when it goes wrong. If you are forced (like I am) because of byzantine corporate rules to use older version of said tools, it is extremely painful. Don't get me started on stuff like babel, jest, ts-jest and all that gubbings. AI been a godsend because I can ask Claude what I want to do.
I use vendor directory in my C++ project and and git submodules and I've got a build that works cross platform. The biggest issue I ran into was MinGW and GCC implement the FileSystem library differently (I don't know why). It wasn't too difficult to fix.
