Isn't It Frustrating...

Question

Isn't it frustrating when people post cheats to give people answers when you know you entered the right answer by just simply paying attention and earning the certificate you've been working on the right way? Doesn't it feel good when you do things the right way? Can you say you did anything at all when you just hit enter, look at the comments and oh look: the correct answer that magically works... come on! Surely people must agree with me. I recommend banning those who cheat-sheets and things will go back to how they should be via hard work and dedication. Amen.

Answer 1

the cheat sheets can help you understand why the answer is the way it is. there are a lot of moments in the python course for me where I didn't get it until shown the answer. I might have given up if I couldn't find an answer; ie not learn python

however, I think there are ALOT of people on here who only use cheats, and learn nothing, but "complete" the course. it's shameful, but I think it's fine, because when shove comes to shove, it'll be obvious if they've learned once you ask them to code on their own

Answer 2

I agree with most of what Ahri and Dev are saying, although from personal experience I feel sorry for people who do get to the point when shove comes to shove and they just flounder - if they go into a job thinking they have the knowledge and skill to do the job, and then on day one realise that they aren't as knowledgeable as they thought its not fun and doesn't end well. I had this after I got my degree and went into my first development job - it was developing a web based system using lots of php and I had done a few projects in uni using it. I felt really confident with it at first, but then realised that having to figure out what every other line of the existing code did by googling it and reading documentation, meant that things they expected would be easy took me far longer to do, and every day I was behind and my todo list kept growing. A few stressful weeks later I was fired because I was just too slow.
- I originally felt really confident because I knew that I could make systems with it through my old method of using online references lots, and I thought that was ok, but actually to last as a professional you need to know the vast majority and just use references occasionally ( they are also ok to use when you are training, and for personal projects where you accept that you won't be fast)

Answer 3

Dude, do not care about others ;)
Knowledge is the thing that's worth, not passing quizes, earning XP, getting certificate :)
