Oh man. I felt that way before I jumped into drywall work in a family member’s house—it’s making something white, how hard could it be? MAN did my repair job come out streaky and cracked. And it took me about 2 weeks to get through one wall and a ceiling. Poorly.

I feel that way when I show up at corporate software shops too—think cubicle farms toiling at the coalface of some massive ancient line-of-business application. I would not survive there. And the company needs people who would thrive there, instead of me.
