Yes but you have a difference between code that may be correct once you finish
and one that is totally incorrect now.
For the botsinc book I did it and you were always sure that you are going in
the right direction.

No for me the solution is feedback that tells me
continue you are on the way
or stop you got it wrong now.
I already did that in the past.
