The example I gave had absolutely nothing to do with incompetency. It just so happened that the problem manifested as a sequence of time-consuming blockers which could only emerge once the previous one was unblocked. Regardless of the example,the point is that it's naive and very ignorant to portray all blockers as feel-good "I overcame a challenge" opportunities. Sometimes you feel good because you managed to jump a hurdle, sometimes you feel bad because you're stuck in the middle of a ravine with your arm crushed by a huge rock and the only tool you have is a pocket knife. Sure, you exercised your problem-solving skills on both scenarios, but they are hardly on the same level in terms of personal fulfilment and happiness.
