Oftentimes the hardest part of being a programmer is understanding someone else’s code. Even I still look at stackoverflow for an answer, and if it’s too hard I look for an easier one. I myself have put off reading someone else’s code and understanding it for far too long.
You will be much better off trying to read the articles people give you. Try to understand it, really try. If it’s too hard (legitimately after trying to read and understand it), not clear (you can’t comprehend what they are trying to teach you or how they are teaching it) or doesn’t answer what you are trying to find, then politely ask them for another one and give your reason for why you can’t use that article.
Follow this advice, and your programming experience will be better in the long run.
While it may not be the easiest solution, you will benefit from doing this and eventually things will become more simple and clear.
