From 1997 to 2012 I was the sole IT guy at a trade show company. We had a database called Smiley.... I wrote 3 different replacements for it, they were always afraid to convert over, even though I was fully prepared to run them both in parallel.

I've been this guy, sorta.

I've been afraid to even try personal projects since then... that job broke me.
