python, web
Now I'm wasting untold amounts of time digging through PyCS, which is one of these, and at some point I'll figure out what's happening. Open source; no docs. Alas.

This is exactly the sort of thing I spend days, at work, doing, digging through the useless, tautological "documentation" for the Java-based app server we have gone and based our entire suite of products on. The differences here are that I have the source code to dig through and read, and that I'm using a language that doesn't make me want to hop bluntly out the window. I have, for example, been measuring memory use in a way that takes about 15 minutes per data point. Hop!

It's amazing what keeps computer types happy, and that I play with this stuff instead of going to the gym is something on which I brood a lot.
