N2 - When we learn how to program, we often do that by trial and error. We struggle with the syntax and with our own understanding of how the idea of the program should look like in the specific programming language. Today there is a huge amount of tools available, which automatically check your code and recommend alterations to the code for the sake of maintainability or correctness. The question, that has not yet been asked by science, is: Are we still learning something from these mistakes, besides the knowledge, that such mistakes will be corrected for us? In the following we will propose an experimental setup, that aims to answer this question.
