PSA: A free library workshop in Austin saved me from quitting coding

I was stuck on a simple Python loop for three days, ready to throw my laptop. The workshop leader at the Austin Public Library saw my screen and said, 'Try drawing it out on paper first.' I did, and the whole thing clicked in about ten minutes. I never thought to step away from the keyboard to figure out the logic. Has anyone else found a simple trick that finally made loops make sense?

It's like trying to find your keys. You stop looking at the same empty table and check your coat pocket.

But is losing your keys really that big of a deal?

Check the fridge, they're always hiding with the butter.
