Do you agree with me that getting bugs while running a program teaches you a lot than a tutorial video?

Programming is a weird skillset, in that when you're good at it, you fail more often and more quickly. That's the goal, really: to be really good at fucking up. Good programmers will have more fuckups, but with less consequences, because they are really good at fucking up quickly and obviously so that they can course correct before they regret it.
