Actually, I've found that it's a case of looking more complicated than
it really is. Nine times out of ten, when I am frustrated and can't
solve something, I start reading documentation and code. And it goes
nowhere.
But then I come back to reading that same code after stepping away for
a while, and I'm surprised at how simple everything is.
As far as my heartwarming Pylons story - I inherited a Pylons app
written by someone else. The original developer liked Python, and for
whatever reason, chose Pylons as the framework of choice.
I took over work on that app, and for a long time, I didn't even need
to know much about Pylons to add features. The fact that I could do
this as a part of my first exposure to real web programming (I'm a C
guy, by history...) was remarkable, so I stuck with it.
Now I feel like I have a half-decent grasp on it without it being too
painful - how many times has someone said that about an app that they
unfortunately inherited? :)
