I trade my software skills to my personal trainer for free workout sessions, and it's so true. He isn't a dumb guy, he's young and runs his own socials, but makes me do every single text change and minor tweak to his Squarespace site. It's worth it for some free sessions but it would be a lot faster turnaround if he just learned to do it himself.

I'd say there are probably two things your trainer can't currently do, that you can. (Of course, if your trainer was interested and put in the effort, he probably could).

One is: have a good intuition/model for what will need to be changed. (What will need to be changed and what effect that might have).

Another is: confidence that he'll be able to resolve any problem he might get into.

(That's not even considering that programming, I think, gets an aura of nerdy/hard, when a lot of it is very accessible).

Considering that Squarespace doesn't have backup/restore functionality (!!!!), maybe it is wise for him to have you just "make it so."

Are you kidding? One of the single most useful features that make computers useful, restoring from a bad state, is missing from Squarespace. I am embarrassed for them.

Wow.
