You’re hired, welcome to the team!

I had enough colleagues unable to type exactly what they asked me into whatever search engine they preferred to accept your statement. If you don't know how to use a search engine go ask for another job.

"Hey pancake, how do I run all tests via gradle?"

Open your browser, head to Google and type "run all tests in gradle"

"Oh, nice. Thank you for your help!"

And the next day the game starts all over again.

Pfft, writing a program that collects user input and displays it is just trite. I'm going to skip straight to building an MMO.

Science-based, 100% dragon MMO or gtfo.

You're right. The learning is the point. So rather than flail in the dark, why not learn the optimal solution?
