I’ve been in the computer science field for 2 years, that being said, I am still quite bad at coding. I am a hacker when it comes to coding, not the Kevin Mitnick kind, but the kind that would try to hack through the language syntax without ever reading documentation. Then I would ask a TA or a senior for help and I would see how they do it and learn the syntax that way.
It was not until last year when I learn that I’ve been approaching coding the wrong way. A friend of mine, who is my CS mentor told me,
“The best coders, knows how to (find their answer on) Google”
