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.
- Successful

I wouldn’t lie. But if doable. I’ll just work hard on achieving, even if not within my experience. But I see programmers who say “I can’t do this. Too complicated” . I worked freelance for long so I’m used to say yes.
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”
