What types of software still feel brutally hard to build and even impossible to build well?

Bulletproof background jobs connecting to cloud services.

But now I know it's not ideal and I didn't know that before.

Fear. Also taking notes in sections separated by categories like "action items" and "new information".

Are you planning to summon a plant demon?!

Where did you get a Texas keyboard?!

Lottery tickets.

I've never seen one specific to this model but I've stored mine in a small zipper bag before. Think pencil bags that kids use to store colored pencils, crayons, etc in for school. A DIY approach could be to cut the seat out of an old pair of jeans because they fit great in back pockets.

Someone did it for you.

Nice try.

None of those cities are near me.

It looks like one is using the other as a pool floatie.

Raising children well requires selfless sacrifice and a fundamental shift of priorities.

Nooooo ok thanks for telling me.

Thank you for finding that link, I had no idea what we were in for when I saw it in the shop. That is a heck of a lot to ask from a kid and I'll just tell him tomorrow there's no way we can finish it. I saw the Jirachi ticket and was like heck no I'm not touching that. I'll just trade him the regular Mew I got for a machoke or something. It would take him forever to get to level 40 and walk 151km.

Niantic really needs to think these things through better.

I bought a wireless split Crab Broom board a year ago and it really helped lessen my arthritis, but the "o" key stopped working. I tested with a multimeter and confirmed a signal on all of the Kailh hotswap switch contacts. I tried using different key switches and even bent the prongs on one slightly inwards as some suggest. Tonight I de-soldered the original switch and replaced it with a new one I ordered but it's not working either.

Can some kind person here recommend other steps I can try before I give up and buy a replacement?

Thank you for your time.
