That online course I thought was a scam actually taught me something

Signed up for a Python bootcamp on Udemy for $15 back in March. Figured it would be the same recycled nonsense. But the instructor actually showed real debugging workflows. Did an exercise on error handling that saved me 4 hours of frustration this week. Has anyone else had a cheap course turn out way better than expected?

I called my brother a wizard after he showed me his first program and now I just look like a fool who paid $15 for the same thing. But yeah that error handling module actually saved me too, I was stuck on a stupid loop for hours before I remembered a trick from some random $10 course. Guess cheap courses can still punch above their weight sometimes.

Wait, wasn't Python a bootcamp and not a course? Those are different things usually. But yeah I had a similar thing happen with a cheap CSS class that actually taught me flexbox better than the expensive one I bought first.
