I (or my partner and I) would spend 4+ hours trying to fix one particular line of code, and Jonah would give big-picture answers about e.g. how linear regression worked in theory

For context, what was your programming ability before you started the course? It seems strange to spend 4 hours getting (one line of) linear regression to work, but it also seems strange for an instructor to give a vague answer to something so basic, unless he was using the "Socratic Method"?
