Overheard a coworker say they learn more from reading error logs than tutorials, and it clicked for me.
I spent last weekend debugging a Python script and realized the compiler was basically telling me exactly what was wrong if I just slowed down enough to actually read the messages - has anyone else found error logs more useful than tutorials for getting past beginner roadblocks?

Yeah, "if I just slowed down enough" is exactly it. I used to skim right past them until I forced myself to actually read every line and look up stuff I didn't get.

Slow down even more, cause it's actually "stopped" not "slowed" in that line.
