I agree 100% that being given the answer is useless because then you haven't been forced to understand the problem.

I'm thinking of 2 special cases: 1) you can read manuals and get modules online. I lived in Africa in the days of 2400 modems and information was very hard to get - always in books which I could not buy. Now anyone in the world can get information so there's a way in which that allowed the software industry to expand but fortunately there was huge demand.

2) Bugs which other people have solved before - a particular error message from Anypoint Studio today was because I had run brew and I updated maven without realising it - past the version that Anypoint supports. Searching saved hours of frustration. When this works I think it's a true saving.
