Yes, for me batteries included is starting with your problem and not before the problem. I expect in 2024 to have a Visual Basic 6 for the Web (drag and drop UI/UX and objects behavior) and all I have is MFC [1].

My experience as a casual developer in several programming languages and operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux...) is that nowadays software development is for teams and not for individuals but it is not a software engineering problem but a community one because the technology we have available is really incredible but you can waste your time with relatively simple problems.
