It also helps a lot if you have someone more skilled than you available to discuss.

Which could be read as you addressing me directly. Which of course I’m aware was not what you meant. I was just trying to be funny.

You get better at programming by programming.

Think of it that way: those nice people are sending you money every month and all you have to do is go there and look busy. Certainly not the most rewarding way to spend your day but having money is nice.

Working in the US with no holiday and dodgy health insurance is unfathomable to me.

You cut its ground harness with your boomerang.

I mean, duh. How else would they go at it?

That’s terrible advice if retaining control of your data is in any way a priority.
