How to be a programmer: 3% coding 50% searching stack overflow just to find a post saying "nvm fixed it" without leaving the solution 30% watching indian YouTubers 17% finding those annoying brackets you missed

As an indie game developer once told me, "I go in, fix one thing, and that causes 99 other things to fail." Coding is finding the right line that fixes one thing and manages to NOT break everything else as a result.

As a newbie programmer with decent Computational Thinking Skills, I can confirm that programming is not about coding or knowing languages, it's about being a master at StackOverflow.
