I'm a software engineer who loves creating prototypes, tools, and basically anything that automates. I work mostly on the frontend, and love exploring unique frontend problems.
I relate with this post way too much. My brain does go for the "forEach" implementation and then once that's working, it'll ask me to turn that into a map -> reduce or something like that, and I guess that's just part of the process of learning to grow as a developer.
Maybe our brains will make such connections immediately, purely out of the experience one day. Maybe some people make those connections faster. Deliberate practice and not kicking yourself over that is the key to getting there I guess.
I also feel like nobody is an imposter. Everyone is learning. Everyone is at different stages of learning. And it's beautiful as long as the knowledge is shared in person or via the internet :)
