When you were 25 you lacked the experience to see Porting this API will require a deep understanding of the existing API and, ignoring that obvious complexity, allowed you to move really fast.
Also you get those nagging feelings of futility about doing a mechanical task (translating an API) when you know you (or anything else) will 1) make mistakes and 2) have to do it again in five years anyway.
There are two times you buy a motorcycle - First when you know you can't die and Second when you don't care if you do. Sucks to be in the middle (aged).
