You have to learn and conceptualize it. Some things are harder than others to learn and conceptualize. Some tasks can be easily broken down piece by piece, some you can’t do without modeling a complex system in your head. There is definitely a “smartness” scale if only because things have different demands on attention, perception, and short term memory.
Yeah I see what you mean about conceptualization + long term memory. I’ve always felt the process of abstracting things higher and higher to be fulfilling. Not sure why. But, it is very easy to get lost and over engineer and in turn not adding any value besides more stress, solving no real problems.
IMO it isn’t even that it’s necessarily bad, there may very well be a tradeoff that helps you, it’s just that the tradeoff may be different depending on who you are and what your brain can do.
what makes you say you are not smart enough? I do not think there is a “smartness” scale to design patterns.
