My point of view on this is that the time never comes back. Concerning the codding, when I don't have a progress on a task for a half an hour, I start searching the internet. I remember how I wrote a function to count the appearance of each letter in a text. Don't remember how long it took me but remember that I have learned a lot about the defaultdict. It was at the very beginning of my codding experience. Many weeks after that I have discovered collections.Counter. I am not telling that I have lost my time. But all of our knowledge is on top of the efforts of the people before us. We have to appreciate these efforts and need to value our time more. Doing that we will have more time to do something else which can be used by someone else in turn. The purpose of this forum is the same as well SO and many others.
