This one sentence describes every Computer Science / Programming student.
And every person who started a project of any kind.
And every programming task I was assigned. I envy programmers that can say no.
I have two names for programmers that can say no.

I wanted to say something really interesting about this but it was harder to do than I initially thought.
“We do this not because it is easy, but because someone else is doing all the hard work”
