It is because of the many many libaries you need now to make something. When I get to write embedded or doing algorithms then I do my best work walking in nature but that is only like 10% of the job. The rest involves looking up library docs or stackoverflow help for badly written, fast changing libraries. The last time it worked were Django APIs. Django is actually stable and we use only multi year stable libs. But frontend: I cannot remember the 1000s of edge cases and they also change per library often. Outside JQuery I guess.
