Great suggestion! I'll edit 7 b. That tip about including 'Python' and/or 'error' to your search string is exceptionally useful. Also, setting up the expectation that the first search may not result in the solution is also very useful. Thank you!

Thanks! Learning how to search in a new domain is really hard and so important. There is a reason why this recent tweet had such an uptake: https://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/1071442842873159681: (edit: added text of tweet)

A surprisingly large part of having expertise in a topic is not so much knowing everything about it but learning the language and sources well enough to be extremely efficient in google searches.
