For me, it's the rare errors/workarounds that need more love. It's not rocket science to learn Python, yet we somehow have literally 100's of guides on how to start learning Python. Once you dive into a particular niche method, though, there may be a couple of SO posts unanswered or with unsatisfactory/ungeneralizable results. If you don't have an experienced mentor and you're on your own, I find that situation pretty hard to deal with. It may be some basics that you're lacking as an intermediate, non-advanced practitioner, because you relied on this patchwork of beginners' tutorials limited to the main/easiest tasks in the language. When I was learning R, the tutorials I looked at didn't mention selecting columns with $, which was a very poor oversight and led to some "dumb questions" to my mentor.
