minus-square@danAlink20•9 months agoAs someone with 20+ years coding experience, this only gets worse as you get more experienced.
minus-square@MajorHavoc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•9 months agoYes. I tell my mentees this all the time. Decades ago, as a new developer, I expected to stop getting stuck like this. Instead I get stuck, like this, on really interesting problems with really valuable solutions. So that was a fun surprise, I guess. Lol.
minus-square@Stumblinbear@pawb.sociallinkfedilink4•edit-29 months agoI was stuck on a problem for six months, and after figuring that out I banged it out in an afternoon. If anything you get stuck for even longer
minus-square@danAlink3•9 months agoIf I’m stuck on something for more than a few hours, I ask one of the more junior developers on my team if they have any ideas. Sometimes, a new perspective helps a lot!
minus-square@Stumblinbear@pawb.sociallinkfedilink3•9 months agoUnfortunately it was for a personal project and nobody else understands the system so, haha
