Focus: Reference Counting and GC
Python: Reference Counting and GC
Answer
Assuming the runtime will eventually solve every memory problem can hide real lifecycle design mistakes.
Naming the pitfall early helps you design tests, reviews, and safer boundaries. Connect the idea to a realistic coding decision so recall is easier when solving similar questions.
