I see you there! Joking aside, for me, I also struggled a lot with DI when I first saw it in Java. The ridiculous frameworks that hid all of the details drove me crazy. Even Google Guice was supposed to be more clear, but it was never as clear as... Eventually, I settled on hand-writing the wiring in one giant 1,000+ line function that builds the entire object graph on start-up. Then I could really understand DI because you could actually read (and debug) the code doing the "wiring" (building the object graph).
