Is there not value to be gained when someone is struggling to get past a problem? I've seen what happens when people too quickly phone a friend whenever they hit a problem, the end result being they don't round out their knowledge.

It depends on the person and the problem I think. I have also seen people sort of struggle and not really make progress and leaving them in their own wouldn’t be a learning experience.

Like how if you throw someone who doesn’t know how to swim in the ocean they might just thrash about until they get tired and drown...

I do always try to work with them to explain the steps I am taking to troubleshoot but it’s definitely a balancing act as you want them to learn not just have it done for them.
