Well, in my experience, programming is more time consuming compared to
Chemistry (talking about grad school study of Chemistry) . If I get
stuck, I get stuck for a long time. Back then, when I wa staking Java
in Srping 2002, I didn't know about asking for help in ngs.  So some
bad memory (of losing time unnecessarily) stayed with me.

Well, I was talking in tiemrs of productive and responsible ones.
