Terion,
I've done a lot of backend programming, but I'm even more newbie than
you in PHP... so take this from an equal, & FWIW:
I think we in this work can all get dry/impersonal and grouchy at
times, but to rephrase the others, in perhaps more encouraging terms:
I think the guys just want the natural satisfaction of seeing you grow
in understanding. it is really fulfilling to help people; we all love
helping someone in need! But we all also want to see our investment
stick and make a difference in the long run. Putting out fires is ok
once in a while, but much more satisfying is contributing to someone
getting good at this stuff, even if at a humble pace.
