Excellent point about the trial and error approach. I started programming relying heavily on setting a breakpoint and writing code inside of Chrome's devtools (then copying the code, which I knew worked, into my project).

It didn't take me long to realize that just because I could do something like (for example) `view.attributes.blah = "something"` it wasn't how you're supposed to do it (`view.set("blah", "something")`).

As a beginner, you're really just trying to make shit work. And it's fine to do stupid things, you'll learn the errors of your ways later on. The most important thing is that you have the means to learn rapidly.

You say trial and error approach, but I'd call it experimental approach. And this is good. The bad habit is never growing beyond that.
