EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.<p>The only comfort, so far, is learning that this seems to be very, very common among us tech types.<p>I have coworkers that ask me for help with infra/virtualization stuff that I know well, and they know the programming side of automation better than I do. I'm working to learn it, and deal with the inadequacy feelings all the time.<p>They tell me they couldn't get by without my knowledge, and to keep going on the automation coding, that I'll figure it out.<p>Sometimes, I say to myself, "They can say it until they're blue in the face; if I don't believe it, it doesn't matter. It's in one ear, and out the other."<p>I don't know if I'm really coping. Just continuing to try to learn, and move forward.<p>My apologies, if it's not the upbeat answer you may have been hoping for. Just trying to be <i>real</i> about it.
