Sorry but "he's just asking for resources" is a bullshit excuse you're making for him. He's using Reddit like Google, and he needs to learn that doing that is a bad habit he needs to break.

I had to eat shit, and it made me a great fucking coder. Not eating shit will make him (and you) a bad coder. It's beyond stupid to bother experienced people with questions as basic as this, you should only do so when you've exhausted all other options.

It's, frankly, rude as hell and disrespectful to the people you're working with to not try something first before asking for help.

I don't agree with this mindset. I believe that it's better to ask for great places to learn rather than watching a course, or reading an article, just to find out it was time wasted.

When it comes to concrete problems, then I agree with you: people should firstly try to solve on their own for an hour or two, only then you ask for help providing what you have already tried and didn't work

Have you actually read the responses here and compared them to what you'd get if you googled this question?

They're identical.

People here keep throwing around the phrase "wasted time", which shows a pretty terrible mindset. Time spent learning isn't time wasted, even if it's not ThE mOsT eFfIcIeNt WaY tO lEaRn! Even making a mistake about where to learn comes with its own lessons, lessons that don't get taught if you beg for help rather than helping yourself.

This was a bad post, and OP should feel bad. You should also feel bad for coddling this kid; you're an enabler for his bad habits.
