If you walk into a room and it smells like dog shit, a dog probably shit in that room.
If you walk into a second room and it still smells like dog shit, there might have been a dog that shit into both those rooms.
If you walk into a third room and it still smells like dog shit, check the bottom of your shoe.
In that (shitty) metaphor, it might just be that your office building (~i.e. the software industry) is next to a sewage plant (i.e. its problems), regardless of the state of your shoes.
For me personally, that's how my brain works. Sometimes I need to realign and discover that just because all the "9/10" (in terms of difficulty) problems and 7/10 problems have been solved, the 2/10 problem isn't that bad, just because it's now the worst problem at hand.
