NOTE

Breaking Down Problems and Leveraging Others' Work

Breaking down problems into smaller parts is essential for making progress. To avoid getting lost and doing a bad job, define inputs, outputs, and specific goals before writing code. Don't be afraid to use others' work, but don't blindly copy and paste. Utilize auto-generated code and search engines like Stack Overflow, but take the time to understand what you're using. Curiosity is key, as blindly copying and pasting leads to a lack of understanding.
