      Trial and error, oh my God yes. So much error. Such a trial. But also try to pay attention to detail… If something seems to generally work but then doesn’t for this one case, it might be completely broken and just spitting out plausible stuff the rest of the time. But anyway yeah, you’ve got the spirit.

      Knowing your stuff is more about knowing how to learn rather than memorising how to do things exactly.

      Knowing where to look to find the information you need is way more important than remembering that information because it means you can adapt to anything and programming is always changing and you’ll always be learning new stuff.
