It has always chilled me to my bones. Whenever I tried to do a slightly non trivial things, I am afraid I miss the super obvious easy solution and get stuck for years before getting it. And it already happened several times too! Really, the only solution I can come up with is "experience"... and a lot of asking from different perspective.
