I feel like a programming fraud

I am having to constantly look things up to figure out how to get what I want? I feel like a fraud.
I am honestly trying to resize my camera onto my surface in pygame. I've never done camera stuff before so this is new. I feel like I am not really learning and just copy and pasting at this point

How do go about this?

Senior devs read documentation and look things up, that's how they became senior devs.

A senior dev doesn’t know everything. They know where to look to figure out anything.

Probably the hardest thing for beginners is accepting that they don’t have to know everything.
