I'm _begging_ you to please store non-primitive data in a struct or typed object rather than an arbitrary `key` => `value` store like a dictionary, hash table, or associative array

This even includes data that you get back from a third-party API. Take the extra couple of minutes to define the response properties in code rather than passing around an opaque bag of data

What's really neat is is if you're in a language that supports objects, you can start slapping methods on these bad boys rather than creating a bunch of helper functions that operate on arbitrary bags or data or operate exclusively on a single field from the bag of data
