It's important to keep in mind that doing magic doesn't feel like doing magic from the inside. Our own competence becomes invisible to us. You know the details you didn't get right. You know the tradeoffs you've had to make. You know the decisions you've made based on incomplete information. It takes someone else to be in awe of you doing something they wouldn't even know how to begin learning to do. It takes someone else to know in their gut that what you're doing is great because they themselves have dedicated a lot of time to the craft.
