I used to be the bug fixer guy. There was nothing worse to me than a blank file. There's something simple and focused and comfortable about fixing bugs for a lot of people. It does take creative, critical thinking to fix bugs it's different than creating something from square one.
With a bunch of practice I got to the point where I'm more or less equally comfortable in either role. I learned to apply principles and defined a process that works for me. I watched other people create. I had two really good mentors that showed a lot of patience coaching me through those moments of profound uncertainty that come with creating new things.
Very different skills but both are learnable.
