Do you think technical maturity makes engineers calmer or more cautious? For me, experience has mostly reduced my confidence in “easy fixes.”

I think maturity makes us more deliberate and patient. We expect setbacks and unexpected findings, but as we mature we know to stay focused on the big picture goal and not sweat intermediate misses and deviations.

So true

Maturity helps me anticipate where issues are going to happen so that I can be calm when they do

True

Calmer for sure and a little cautious but I wouldn’t say the caution slows down the process

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
