On Day 2, we learned "How to ask questions", yet I asked one of colleagues, before I resort to google.
I really didn't know where to begin with. (I used google search to solve the challenge problems.)
I wondered if working with a colleague would help me more.
We went over the entrance challenge problems.
I 'figured out' how to solve given questions via google search.
When I was watching the live coding session. I understood the code, and I thought I knew the code.
But knowing and reproducing is a totally different thing.
back in high school or even in Univ, some professors asked us if we could rephrase the topic, just to check if we really understood.
When I try to solve the challenge problems from the ground up, but I could not solve some problems. I thought I had understood the code and just forgot about it.
If you cannot explain a topic with your own word, You don't have a full understanding of the topic.
Past couple of days, I was enjoying free time after classes thinking
"Nice, We don't have anything to do tonight. I'll just chill tonight."
WRONG
I am glad that I got this wake up call now than later.
I should go buy Udemy python courses, since they are fairly cheap, or read lectures to better understand Python.

Because it's easier to ask than put in your own effort.
I felt it, when colleague was explaining/helping me to write some lines of codes.
the Inner me kinda wanted him to give me more information.
Hopefully I didn't take too much of his time.
But when I know, and understand a topic, I like helping others, but cause by explaining my colleagues I get to reconstruct/rebuild/restablish (can't find THE WORD...) my thoughts.
Why do
peopleI ask first, think second.I am well aware of our 20 min rule.
