I actually tend to think in *systems*, not only single parts. So I'm a good general designer because I can observe a whole pattern, and then see the missing pieces. Unfortunately, I get bogged down in details too often because I'm not well trained in detail work. That's the hardest part of programming for me, is tracking the little pieces.
Nice thing about Python is, it's designed to be easy to learn. Annoying thing about Python is, once you've learned it, you have to abandon some of its best design principles to use certain very popular languages (like Java). Python lists and dictionaries are insanely useful for organizing data, but altering a list in Java looks weird to me. And error passing is hard, why do I have to tell all the classes up to the core what to look for instead of catching the error where I use the classes involved? And then having to separate EVERYTHING into different files instead of putting related classes into their own module.
But I rant. Moving on...
Worst thing about being in my head is, my ability to learn things has been severely reduced. So I can't catch up and get familiar with the differences, which would catch me up properly.
