This might sound obvious, but you need good tooling. I used to use use plain sublime text with very little plugins and automation. Writing code was extremely frustrating. Sublime text autocompletion rarely worked.

I’ve updated to the latest version, installed an lsp, written some plugins and commands for generating base classes and imports. I even run the tests automatically on file changes, terminal window about 1/4 of the screen (the other 3/4 is sublime), and now it’s a joy to write code. I no longer get frustrated writing even a simple line. Now I get immediate feedback when typing (from the lsp) and get (almost) immediate results when saving a file, (by having the tests run automatically). When I have to create a file, I have commands for most cases and when I don’t I have snippets that make it a breeze. It’s now actually enjoyable.
