The library debugging session that forced me to finally read the docs
Last month my internet went out and I had to go to the public library on Main Street to get anything done. I was trying to fix a script that kept failing on date formatting, and I had no Stack Overflow, no ChatGPT, nothing. Just the Python docs cached on my laptop from a workshop. Three hours in, I actually read the datetime section instead of copy-pasting from memory, and it turned out I was using the wrong timezone object the whole time. The fix was one line. Now when I get stuck longer than 20 minutes, I close the browser and force myself to read the official docs first, even if it feels slower. Has anyone else had a similar moment where losing internet access made them a better coder, or am I just the only one who needed that kick?
