TIL some insights from working on electrical. It takes discipline to distinguish between “I don’t understand this” and “something is deeply wrong.”

Electrical systems are at the edge of my understanding. It feels opaque when something isn’t working as expected. Mystery gets inflated into catastrophe when it is better met with curiosity.

A lot of troubleshooting anxiety comes from not knowing the system well enough to recognize normal failure modes. The more I work through problems like these, the faster I pattern-match in a new domain.
