> the experience of banging your head against the wall (for a bit) can be valuable Yes. This "get it done as fast as humanly possible whether or not you actually understand what you're doing" is the most detrimental attitude toward beginning software developers I can think of. "Going down a rabbit hole" is a dismissive way of saying "actually figure out what the computer is doing" which is what actually makes you valuable to the team. If you just wanted somebody who can type in what they're told to type in, you're wasting a lot of money hiring computer science graduates.
