As an electrical engineer, this is incredibly relatable, especially in development. I go through this process whenever I get a new project

Probably because adults kept telling us "You'll get it when you're older" but a LOT you actually don't... Ever. Just trial and error...

The ones who thought they "got it" because they were older were the ones who stopped learning.

Boy oh boy, was I wrong. I know even less now because there's more questions. I'd still rather be 40 than 15 though.

It's largely true but might also just terrify them? Maybe teenagers.

Not all. To be honest a lot of adults really need to grow the fuck up and stop acting like children.

No. If I don´t know anything, I never claim to do. I admit that I dont know but I can always learn. This equals confidence.
