Programming is a series of frustrations. Everything we do, we could do better or faster if we only had our tools set up just so.

We’ll see five different species of yak, and discuss how and when to tackle each one. At the bottom of the yak stack, we might find the Golden Yak, with secret wisdom engraved on its skin.
