I see your edit, fair enough! I tend to agree with you; stuff that felt impossible for me to understand at one point is now second nature to me, and over time I've learned how to do more. UI and BE, as well as orchestration and infra. AWS used to scared me, and now I maintain a dozen microservices (and I may slightly regret breaking everything up lmao) for my startup in AWS by myself because Terraform is pretty easy to pick up and at this point AWS makes a lot of sense (hello Dunning-Kruger, my oldest colleague). Frontend terrified me because I didn't know how to compose UI cleanly (not just JS), but then I learned React and now feel confident I can build, maintain, and deploy complex frontends because honestly it wasn't that hard to grok. The single strongest piece of advice I've been given, the single idea that gets me through like... 99% of work related strife is this: How you feel now is not permanent and will not last forever. I guess the more poetic way people say this is, "This too shall pass"[0] but I just think of Gandalf so...
