@futurebird First of all, amazing somebody still teach programming.
40+ years experience in SW/FW developing here and the simple truth is that not everybody is cut to program computer.
Is not only matter of knowledge, is matter about how a person think and is curious about the world and things working.
Every single one person who interrupt and ask, will end up using google and AI to write a program.
No personal ideas, no spending hours trying to understand the problem and the nature of errors.
In my career I saw "new" generations of developers knowing less and less. Almost nobody of new generations knows what a computer is and how is working. It seems a useless information but is exactly what make you understand the errors.
Errors exists all along the "chain", from your code to code you are using (compiler/OS/drivers/etc.) up to the electronic.
Maybe the way you and others teach programming should change, making more like a mystery hour

@wakame @futurebird It's seems a contradiction but actually .. not
