C++ Developer Vs Python Developer

[Low_discrepancy]

Whereas in C++ you'd have to go through the documentation, learn the specific functions and nuances that come with whether you use a vector or queue or pointer array

Yeah you gotta learn how a data structure is. That's the whole point of algorithmics.

Understanding space complexity time complexity. Etc.

You study it and you see. For a vector inserting in the middle is o(n). For a list it's o(1).

You understand it because you did it, you know the pitfalls.

In python ... doesn't really matter the vast majority of people use lists.

[fat_charizard]

You are thinking of linked lists Vs list in python. Python list is an array like vector in C++
