I remember my first job was working on a massive enterprise system in a complex business domain on a codebase that had survived multiple iterations over the last 30 years.

It took a full 9 months before I finally thought 'I can do this job'.

I think part of it was eventually working out the baseline level of competence of the seniors and seeing just how much everyone had to communicate to get anything done. Over time I got used to the various systems and processes but also used to the fact no one knows everything and we just have to clarify with others what we don't know.

It's a team sport.
