What to do when you are stuck
We've all been there. You're in the Codecademy learning environment or in your local IDE, and you see a red error that doesn't allow your program to run properly. You can't quite figure what the problem is, and it's frustrating! In this video, Farish shows us some strategies to get through these tough times when you're stuck!

If everything fails... Basically know where to get actual support. At least some couple of reliable sources. Because at many points you won't be able to fix it all by yourself. It's ok to get help, and always learn from it.

I loved when you said, try to be a part of developing community before you're stuck. I felt that!
Very informative for a beginner like myself. Thank you.....all the way from The Bahamas! 🇧🇸
These are all solid ideas for getting unstuck. I also consult Genny, she is my "generic" Rubber Duck I ordered from Amazon. She's so understanding and always a good listener and she never laughs at me. :)
I appreciate this video. How to ask the question is very valuable and important. Thanks!
Great video and information... the walk through on getting "unstuck" was super informative
very helpful already loving this!
Thank you for the video. I'm taking baby steps in learning. Love the emphasis on being a part of a community. Any learner communities you can suggest?
thanks a lot for your motivation
Thanks for the information. I really got some clue when encountering a bug.
For real.. Thank you for your lecture and web service..
Good advices, would've been better if there's subtitles for those who couldn't turn up the volume for some reasons and are without an earphone at the same time.
I can't even do an easy code challenge without someone else literally doing it all for me, I have to choose between doing it myself and failing or going for help and have someone else succeed "for me"
Our entire school system should be structured in the same comprehensible way as at Codecademy

'Whole is greater than the sum...' indeed
Well I was coding a carousel, and I got stuck really bad, and after 4 hours of googling and sitting in front of PC trying to figure out why the function is not working, turns out I put keyUp instead of mouseUp event , I felt so shity that I fail in such a mistake
Id love to be part of a community!
I have been reading errors since learning about \LaTeX. It can give an insight to errors. Is there a serious effort to error test or get descriptive error messages within the community?

I don't get it your question? What are you exactly asking? I also in some way started with LaTeX! Great markup language!
This is good when you are still in the basics. But once you get stuck in intermediate level you are pretty much doomed as the resources are scarce in the intermediate level.
Anyone want a programming buddy? I'm following along codeacdemy

I get errors that are not shown in the console
Subtitle please, I'm profoundly deaf and cannot follow without subtitle!
Very quiet..
TLDR: Google it
I heard Khan Academy 😂😂😂
The problem is.. there is no helper and if there was any he wouldn't undertsand my code because of its mess
Thank you for the information. I'm making it a habit to check out the links that have been provided throughout the learning exercises in codecademy just to see what other information I might stumble across. So far, I've been enjoying myself. I never really thought of myself as any kind of computer-literate personality. Usually, I say that computers hate me, but what I have learned so far has made sense. I think that is primarily because of the easy and well thought out learning paths orchestrated by the developers and instructors, so thank you for putting this all together for those of us who have the curiosity and drive to learn new things.
The first thing I do when someone comes to me is to read the error out loud with them slowly. Often, they immediately understand what went wrong when they take the time to fully absorb what it is the computer is telling them. :] If that doesn't work, I walk through helping them figure out the conditions that need to occur for the error to crop up. Often, this can involve searching through vendor/dependency code for the error's words. But the fundamental idea is that understanding the problem means understanding the solution. This is true not just for coding but also for marketing, innovation, and all other industries. Problem framing is one of the greatest skills you can teach yourself, no matter what you choose to do. :]
Simple, yet powerful, effective instructions. Thank you!
I'm long time power user when it comes to computers but somehow always dropped out after a short while when tried to learn to code, usually because I got stuck and gave up. This time I really try to overcome this hurdle.
Great info and explanations. Thanks.
So, when All else fails - read the instructions. I'm an ISTJ so, not prone to seeking help from others. Gotta change that. Good advice.

Great video- thank you! You mention "learner communities" at the end of this. Can you give us more leads on resources for that?

Thanks! Only been talking with people thqt alreqdy work... they do not understand why I get stuck... they are mathbrains that had no issues learning math as kids and none problem learning python... so get zero support from these people... so this was a lot better approach !

math is logic, and python is pretty straight forward....probably the easiest programming language
I subbed and waiting to see more coding stuff so don't stop now.
I'm a civil engineer and now I'm so fascinated by the coding and the logic involved. How long would it take me to learn to write proper code? Though I started with the codeacademy's first session, I need a few insights on how a non-tech background guy like me should start. Since I'm bit bewildered with lots of information online, I need a few suggestions on what to do after what

I just started myself engineering is also something I'm interested after I've learned coding I would like to learnt some engineering anywhere you can point me to I mostly want to learn how to make thing's like a steam engine how to make and dig a water well ECT not to get a job but general how to build for myself.
Being an old school developer I like to make my hands dirty :P
