Part of the challenge with managing energy and motivation in programming is that sometimes, you can be on a roll getting things done, and suddenly your tools or environment just break spectacularly and derail you.

Like if you’re a carpenter, in the middle of building a table, and all of a sudden the hammer disappears from your hand and someone’s like “There’s no table, what are you talking about” and it’s still RIGHT THERE and what the heck happened to the hammer?!

That was my last 2 hours. 🤣
