The struggle is real. Letting go of my local data structures was a surprisingly difficult psychological hurdle. I sometimes wish there'd been someone there to tell me that the easiest paths are basically "all" and "nothing". Unfortunately I was the only programmer in the entire organization so I was making it up as I went along. I struggled for WEEKS playing pull-change-push games with huge duplicate local data structures before it even occurred to me there was a better way.
