something i eventually found nice success around here was writing a
tree exploration algorithm capable of changing where it was in the
tree as priorities of different branches changed during exploration.
this was pretty inhibited for me! i wrote a couple and i had chatgpt
write some and i feel much more comfortable with it now! took some
years. i still don’t use other parts of tree structures unfortunately
and kinda strangrly. i think i probably emgaged that part because i
associated it both with data structures and with AI, so it had maybe
double the inhibition for me. i thought it would open up trees more,
but maybe implementing it more would also help … it feels more
inhibited after writing this
