So I had this setup and it wasn’t working. I realized that the part that connects the wire to my my rasberry pi wasn’t in so I pushed it in while it was on by accident. Then the lightbulb lit up but it wasn’t blinking. The next time I turned it on the light bulb lit up but there wasn’t any code running. Now the lightbulb is not turning on at all Did I break my breadboard? I’m extremely new to this

Sorry that the code is a screenshot, I’m on my iPad right now

No you haven't destroyed your breadboard. The breadboard is a passive device that is made of plastic and metal. And LED and resistors can be connected with power on without trouble as you either complete a circuit or break it. And to test the circuit, test to move the red wire from GPIO17 to +3v3 and if the LED lit up you have a working circuit. And if the LED doesn't lit up, try to rotate it 180deg. https://www.elecrow.com/blog/how-to-use-a-breadboard-for-beginners.html https://sparkfuneducation.com/how-to/how-to-use-a-breadboard.html
