Sorry no I mean if it ie takes you two weeks to do a task that's usually two days, because you're investing in a new editor or productivity tool, then maybe there's something there to introspect. As you say chances are there are different things at play too, but if it's that you've gone from a perfectly set up IDE to a barebones editor, then thinking about whether that's the right call for productivity investment is important

Oh dear god, one more time: Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry.

My toaster set fire to my house, and caused serious structural damage, so I threw it out. Today I decided to fish it out of the bin and plug it back in, because only this toaster can solve my lack of toast problem.

Yeah I guess "don't take the piss" isn't quite as descriptive as it could be. Talking with your manager and seeing what's reasonable is best, but ie taking two weeks longer to do a "straightforward" task may not be the best

I’ve been doing this “reliability” stuff for a little while now (~5 years), at companies ranging from about 20 developers to over 2,000. I’ve always cared primarily about the software elements I describe as living “outside” the application – like, how does it get its configuration? What kinds of instances does it run on, and are those the best kinds to use? What steps does it take on its path from “code in a repository” to “running in production”? And I’ve always kept track of what I liked – which mechanisms allowed fast iteration and which caused frustration, which led to outages and which prevented them.
