Knowing IS the Battle

Fellow 80's / 90's kids already know the title's reference.

PSA

As I sit here eating cereal and watching coding videos. I'm thinking in programming knowing isn't half the battle - it IS the battle. Years and years ago I built a little C# Tetris game. I don't recall how long it took me or how much code I had to write to pull it off (Sadly the project has long since been lost - or is archived amid hundreds of old burned CDs). I am certain it took more than a couple hours and was comprised of far more than 200 lines of code. Yet had I known a better approach and a few tricks to help me out, 2hours, 200lines of code would have been completely possible.

I need to keep watching other people code. because knowing is the battle.
