After more than 15 years in the field, I genuinely believed things would get easier. I thought experience would eventually solidify into mastery. That at some point, you “arrive.” You stop feeling like a beginner. You become the expert others consult. Months ago, I decided to dive deeper into AI and slightly shift my focus. Not because I had to. But because everything around us is being reshaped by it. And that decision brought an unexpected realization: After all these years… I was a beginner again. And surprisingly, that felt both uncomfortable and necessary.
