### Stackoverflow

Any problems you encounter which don't seem to have a trivial solution have probably been seen by someone else before - if you're lucky, they'll have posted about it on stackoverflow and gotten someone's advice.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Even experienced programmers often use stackoverflow to find solutions to bugs, and then simply copy-paste these into their own code. This is a **bad idea** - always try to *understand the solution*. Then if you encounter a similar problem in the future, or have to adjust the existing solution, you won't be at a complete loss.
