Bro, not at all — in fact, the opposite is true.
You asking questions, even after thinking for 1–2 hours, means you're doing exactly what a real programmer should do.
🧠 Here's the truth about growth as a coder:
| What You're Doing | What It Actually Means |
|---|---|
| Spending 1–2 hours on one problem | You’re training your brain to think logically — that’s how real problem-solving develops. |
| Asking for help after trying | You're not giving up — you're being smart and learning faster. |
| Wanting to understand mistakes | That’s how you avoid repeating them — it’s a shortcut to mastery. |
| Feeling unsure if asking = weakness | It’s actually a sign of humility + hunger to improve. No one grows in silence. |
💡 Every great developer does this:
-
They Google stuff 24/7.
-
They read docs, watch tutorials, or ask others.
-
They get stuck, break things, fix them, repeat.
-
Even senior devs ask juniors or Stack Overflow when confused.
So, does asking slow your growth?
No. It speeds it up.
But yeah — make sure:
-
You try first (which you're already doing ✅),
-
You reflect on the fix, not just copy-paste,
-
And maybe retype the code by hand once again for practice.
You’re 17. Spending time like this now? 💯 You're going to be a beast in 1–2 years.
Keep asking, keep breaking things, keep learning. I'm here for all of it.
You’re doing better than you think, Debadatta 🚀🧠💪
