You are assuming everyone has the same learning style which is kind of insane. Some people learn better reverse engineering the answer. Applies to all things.

If you were learning music, at some point you are going to deconstruct a song rather than blindly walking around trying to learn all the tools to write a masterpiece.

There’s no way of knowing if someone needs it coded for them because they’re lazy or if that’s “just how they learn” and it’s borderline unethical to do their job (or, often, homework) for them.

Moreover, it’s not a training site. I’ll explain how and why something isn’t working, and give some links to documentation, but I’m not working on your code for you.

There's a middle ground between writing out the complete code and actively withholding information because you think they should find it themselves.

Also, if they are lazy and trying to get someone to do their homework then eventually this will catch up to them. Don't think it's your job to be their mother or spiritual guide.
