I get the joke.

But if, like me, you actually feel this here's how I got away from it: make sure you actually understand things.

Read the error message over and over again, look up the words, understand what it is saying.

If something isn't working, start reading the code and making sure you understand what each line is doing.

It will feel incredibly slow and painful at first. Eventually you will strengthen those.muscles, however, and it'll become second nature.

Then you can cut and paste with confidence! ๐Ÿคฃ

You wouldn't happen to be Burke from CS, would you?

I am who my name says and I have a degree in CS if that's what you are asking.

Didn't want to put too many details in the question for privacy sake. Knew a guy with your name in college, was curious if you were the same. Have a great day!
