I have a weird form of procrastination where I can’t get myself to read/watch content I consider myself an expert on. Probably something along the lines of it will prove I’m not an expert on the subject or something. So I compensate by telling people I’m not good at said thing. It probably comes off as self deprecation but it really isn’t.

Did you start getting into that topic/field as a hobby/passion and now it's just work?

Initially IT was just fun and games (for many people literally, just LAN parties, endless crazy things on IRC), then script kiddies grow up and have to prepare for meetings and review proposed standards :o
