So: why? This is not the easy path. Exactly zero other people in the world have the computer problems I have now; error messages that do not exist anywhere except my screen and the program source if I'm lucky are part of my life. If something doesn't work, I'm on my own.
Honestly, the real reason is "because you're not the boss of me, that's why". I did this because I'm more stubborn than I am smart and I wanted to. Maybe why I wanted to will resonate with you, though.
