In some ways it's a curse. Early on in my career I could take on and enjoy projects that I now recognize were doomed from the start. The older I get, the longer my "never do that again" list gets. The positive side is that I can now recognize the good signs too. And I'm much better at diagnosing and fixing issues. If the people with power want things fixed, which is definitely not a given.
