I suppose. Though I do think one gets that way by being stubborn enough to learn. But yea, it does take time. I just find that putting in time when I can usually means less occasions when I HAVE to put in time I don't have because I've offloaded decisions that blow up on me.
Biggest issue I run into these days is actually fighting with systemd on my Debian install on the Raspberry Pi. Really wishing I'd just gone with a BSD, and will probably migrate sooner rather than later.
