To follow up on the copy/paste stuff -- most of my professional career has been leaning heavily on sites like Stack Overflow for examples of how to do things/solve problems I couldn't figure out on my own.
Watching how other people attack a problem similar to the one I'm facing usually results in a lightbulb moment where I finally understand the underlying logical "how".
But if all else fails, I'll just copy/paste and document the link I stole the solution from. :P
(You're a leg up on me, though. I got into programming 20 years ago without any formal training. There were things I knew how to do, but didn't understand that they were standard programming problems until my son was a computer science major in college.)
