I couldn't agree more. My use of best solution is probably poor, and what you suggest is probably the better way to frame it. You want something workable, that is built upon breaking.

There isn't enough in how to think through a problem, describing in as much detail. What is known, what is something we don't know about or need to explore if it is possible. Does that way make sense ? General approaches are far more instructive than a check list of how to do something.

Sometimes we only learn whether something works until you start building which is hard to get across.

Blogs and to-do lists are just boring, the world is full of these.

yes as a student i can definitely say that is the most important skill i have learned it to grapple with a problem over and over and google it and keep working on it until i have figured it out. It teaches perseverance and that is exactly what is needed to code or do anything in the tech field. Building projects is definitely the most important and to give enough information to get there but leave just a little out so the struggle is there to learn,
