Used to copy-paste code from Stack Overflow without reading it. Now I type every example out by hand.
Back in my first month of learning Python I would just grab blocks of code and paste them in without understanding the logic. After a project broke completely because I missed a variable name change, I started typing everything out line by line. Has anyone else found that manual typing forces you to actually learn the syntax better?

Wait, you actually broke a whole project just because a variable name got changed from copying and pasting? That's wild, I thought I was the only one dumb enough to have that happen.

Two days man, two whole days of my life wasted because I renamed a variable from "userImg" to "userImage" and didn't catch one of the old names in like 15 different files. I was so mad I almost threw my laptop out the window when I finally found it. But honestly, it's a rite of passage or whatever, we've all been there.
