I don't remember who told it but...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Something like an 'expert'?
An 'ex' is a has-been, and a 'spurt' is a drip under pressure
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

Another (old) definition of "expert" is anyone from somewhere else.

The last time I bought a technical book must've been over five years ago.
I ordered Clean Architecture without hesitation.
At your recommendation I added Design It! to my wish list.
If it doesn't hold up to my huge expectations I know where to find you MUWHAHAHAHA

I think what the author meant here is:

I did it for awhile. I learned some things, but I feel better in front of a keyboard and a nice warm compiler
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Very good, well done (assuming it's correct).

Fashion should have had a ? after it as it would then intimate a form of fashion which in this case was casual - nice clue though

Ah, so that's what the question mark means, example of. I guess that would make more sense, although in this case might ruin the flow of the clue.
Would you be able to workaround it be doing something like this, do you think?

To replace a $15 part in my car, the instructions say to:
Remove the center console.
Remove the steering wheel
Remove the dashboard
Remove the windshield
Remove the assembly containing the part to be replaced.
Replace the part
Put everything back together
Done
Easier Alternative:
Pay a shop $2000 to do it for you
Done
Folks on YouTube say:
Cut a hole in the side of the assembly (accessible from under the dash)
Replace the part
Replace the piece of plastic you just cut out
Done
Guess which method I'll be doing this weekend. 
(Oh. By the way. The defective part is a Known Issue, and has been for years. But the manufacturer isn't doing a dang thing about it.)
Edit: And done. I now have heat in my car. Yay!
And parts left over.

I used to have a 2.8L Turbo Diesel Mitsubishi Shogun, which has a known fault. The oil seal on the drive shaft to the mechanical fuel injector box starts to leak - letting air into the injectors and mucking up the fuel timing. So it runs like a dog, smokes like Popeye, and top end is down to about 10mph in 1/4 mile bursts ...
To change the £1.05 (including VAT and P&P) seal, drain the radiator, remove the radiator, fan, Turbo, intercooler, front engine cover, injector mechanism, and a pile of ancillary bits and bobs to allow access to those bits. Remove gear and replace seal. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Time for me to do it (in a frozen cold snowy, sleety February with no garage)? 5 days.
Cost? £31.05 (I paid a specialist to remove the gear, change the seal, and refit the gear - I didn't have the right puller and it's a important timing gear).
Cost to have a garage do that? £1800
Ran like dream for another five years though ...

Fair play to you for doing it mostly yourself - I'm too old to do stuff like that anymore (especially in the f***ing snow )

It wasn't a lot of fun, but the sense of satisfaction when it fires up first time, and everything - including the heater - actually works is monumental.
Would I do it again? Probably not - like you, I'm getting a little too old for scrambling under cars trying to get that the stupid bolt they hid behind-and-above the front gearbox ...
Motorcycles engines though ... I'd happily strip them down anytime!
