Ever catch yourself second-guessing decisions you were confident about just months ago? Does that mean you're getting worse at your job?

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we explore why senior developers often feel "wrong" more frequently than they did earlier in their careers.

Aaron makes the case that this isn't a sign of declining skill—it's evidence of a richer mental model that reveals nuance where things once seemed black and white.

We discuss how feedback sources shift with experience, why changing your mind signals growth rather than failure, and how to reframe architectural decisions as a spectrum rather than binary choices.

  • (09:15) - Silly bit
