    I wish my students would care about the concepts and try to understand the answers instead of just blindly copying and pasting ill-fitting code (and then wondering why it only kinda works…).

      Usually the engineers with the least tolerance for it do better but only in the long run. In the short run they are yelled at for holding back projects.
