I learned programming sitting on the floor in a hallway all night with other students. We punched cards, submitted them, and checked while we waited for turn around.. I wrote my own code, and we talked about our problems. We were all peers.
I have no problem with peers helping each other, as long as they don't actually swap code.
Some of what it takes to grok programming is just plain hard work, it takes days or months, not minutes.
I have serious problems about folks asking for help, and getting it, from folks who have already been through the learning curve. I consider that cheating, an honor code violation. I've taught at two universities, and programmed professionally for 35+ years.
I believe you learn nothing by cheating.
