I would really like if software could stop repeatedly and aggressively pushing me to use features I am clearly not interested in. Just leave me alone. It’s my computer and my time, so stop invading both of these. It feels like someone is constantly badgering me.

if you're feeling tension or anxiety about completing a task or contributing to a technical conversation because you know you have some relevant knowledge gaps, this is good self awareness and not imposter syndrome. If you're new to any domain you're likely going to feel this way
