Nice article. I kinda admit it as a student. I've been helping someone's code when I'm done with my assignment. But if it continous to it while they're not doing their program(yeah like spoonfeeding). I wouldnt help them, because that will not improve their skill as a developer. Though at that time we cant access internet connection. I can detect errors not in the highlighted syntax, but the way the logic works.

Thanks Vince! 👍

Helping people go through the process of fixing their errors and becoming more hands-off over time is definitely a great way to go.

In the early days of a course, I'll help fix my students' code while talking it through. But as the course goes on I'll usually ask them questions and help them solve their own bugs.
