That hits so close to home. I always feel the most like an imposter when I'm struggling to implement something or solve a problem.

I spent way too long working on building nested dictionaries from an API response in Python the other day. While building out the data structure I completely forgot about lists... I only realized the flaw in it after reaching out to the other developer in my department for advice
