Feeling right royally down this evening - I have a call tomorrow to look at some software development, I have a ready made solution to the problem I will be faced with but there is another way to do the same thing and I am attempting to get my head around it.
But can I get it to return even the most simple dataset as it should do - no I cannot, spent two days, seen some progress but not enough.
Sometimes I feel like I am a total failure and my imposter syndrome is banging all the drums it can muster at present to make me feel much worse.
Hopefully, now I've said this out loud I will knuckle down and sort it.

If only, I know what it is, I've jumped in too deep so I don't know the full structure of the functions and I am going at something complicated rather then building up to it.
I went from Hello World to paginated API calls and missed out all the bits in between, M language is quite simple Let x in x but then you start to fold in the functions on themselves.
I don't have to do this I can simply go with another method but actually I want to master it.
What usually happens is I hit rock bottom, have tea, come back at it for a few hours and then about 1am I will get a eureka moment and away I go - but I have openly admit to failure first and then get back at it.
Psychology eh
