Why does every tutorial skip the part where nothing works?
Last week I was following a Python tutorial for reading CSV files, and the instructor just breezed through imports and file paths like it was nothing. Then I hit an error about encoding that the video never mentioned, and I spent 2 hours googling before I found a random forum post from 2015 that saved me. Is it just me, or do beginners need a whole crash course on troubleshooting before anything else?

Skip the troubleshooting and you'd never learn why things break on your own, which is half the point of coding anyway. That 2015 forum post you found is the actual tutorial, the video just told you where to start.
