Indeed. The required mental shift became much more apparent to me in the recent months. I guess I'm slow :)

I don’t think that you are slow or not a good developer is the right conclusion. I think you focused on the wrong things. Like code coverage, CI, etc.

You mentioned of being afraid of your codebase exploding in other comment. You know code don’t really explode, right? The worst case is you will need some refactor down the road. Nothing worse than that.
