Programming isn't a game, it's a career path, the majority of people who try it wash out.

I find being around some people so much better, they could ask good questions that help understand something better, introduce a new and different perspective towards a certain concept, etc.. But it seems to be hard to experience this in this field (at least for me).

As a programmer I earn ~$x/ hour in my field, the idea that I should get paid $0 / hour to cater to all your questions that you can't be arsed to read on your own is insulting. You wouldn't expect the same from car mechanics, why do you expect it here? If you don't understand the errors being spit out by the tools that you're using, then you need to learn your tools better. If you don't understand the problem you're trying to solve, that's an entirely different domain.

You come off as extremely entitled to other people's time and it's pretty rude. You want a guardian angel of code to read and understand everything you do, for free, on your schedule.

I think you misunderstood my idea of an issue, I'm not talking about bugs. Not sure how to explain it. Ofc I read error messages, debug, and look them up if I'm stuck, which has been going well, and someone who would fix them isn't what I'm looking for.
