I want your opinions on what&#39;s more educational in the long run for someone&#39;s development as a programmer. Is it more educational to spend 5 hours on a problem and figure it out yourself or spend 10 minutes on it with the help of searching for a solution to a problem? Give us your reasoning.
Keep in mind, the constraints here are: Better for the personal development of the programmer, not finishing the project or meeting any deadlines.
I&#39;ll give 2 initial reasonings that I&#39;ve thought of:
In support of struggling - helps to develop problem solving skills and iron out deficiencies and weaknesses.
In support of searching - Could open up a new way to facing a problem that you have not thought of which could put a new tool in your box for the future.
