I do, however, listen. For instance, in Google or Bing, I paste in the error message popping up on my computer, and someone had the same problem as me, and another had solved it! Over time, I have come to know specific technical forums to contain good answers. Some answers I can trust, others I discard. I wonder how people used to solve technical problems before Google, and I remember that I did experience this myself, during my undergraduate days. There were certain tricks, like fixing the very top error after compiling unsuccessfully. Or using a binary search with print statements. But nothing beats getting a good sample of a command to run, or a pointer to the right direction.
