I’m not looking for problem solving, and I’m not going to discuss specifics here. I’m describing for the OP a difficulty I have in programming, which I assume is due to a gap in my education. You’ll have to use your imagination.

The best I can do to explain what I’m struggling with is confusion over levels of abstraction further from the code I’m writing—write some code, then expand it by importing someone else’s code and then import another piece of code to expand the first import—it’s turtles all the way down.

Dealing with APIs isn’t as terrible as that, but I could use some better language to describe these special cases. I’m also bad at reading other people’s code on GitHub and understanding what they’re doing—for example. But of course I understand my code.
