Intro
What a wonderful evening, sitting in a comfortable chair in front of the desk and just coding some tech stuff. Suddenly, My brain got stuck and became blank neither I can think nor react. That's a situation sometimes every immersing developer suffers a lot but It will become normal after a huge brainstormingšµāš«.
Let me drop a few quick tips thatāll eventually help you stop wasting your days by surrendering yourself to your overwhelming feelings.
When I get stuck What do I doš¤?
Console it
I am not saying to console the problem in the console. Its meaning is to step back from the problem analyze it from the root and figure out what actually a problem was. Sometimes figuring out the problem may solve the root of the problem.
How do you figure out what the problem is?
In the programming, The problem that you faced is already been faced by another developer. That's why Scraping the problem in relevant platform helps you to solve the problem. The Relevant platform are:
- Google :
Googling
is one of the most important skills to have as a developer. Because Google has everything you are looking for. The trick is finding exactly what youāre looking for quickly and the best way is by being concise and searching using exact keywords.
- Asking questions on Stack Overflow, Quora or discussion forum: Platform like Stack Overflow, and Quora are built to discuss the problem and solve it. So Asking questions on this platform definitely frees you from getting stuck.
- Asking questions with your coding buddy: Friends are the problem solvers in each and every situation. In the context of programming, problems, bugs and errors are daily life routines. Communicating and collaborating with your coding buddy helps you to solve the problem.
- Reading Blog: A blog is the main source of learning that helps us to understand a specific topic and gives a generic idea about the error that may come in the future or It helps to solve the problem.
- YouTube Tutorial: YouTube tutorial is the last option to solve the programming problem because everyone avoids the tutorial hell. You just need to dig down deeper in the rabbit hole. Search with the right keyword youāll get the right tutorial that solved your problem easily.
When nothing works for you?
Take a deep breath, Take a coffee, rest for 1 day and enjoy the 1 day what you like most By doing this your mind will be rebooted with new energy which helps to solve the problem easily.
Conclusion
As a developer, I usually get stuck and spend days and nights solving it. But After solving it it's adrenaline hits differently š¤©. Solving the problem is sometimes frustrating but It enhances our capability, check our passion level and passes problem of problems which we should solve by grinding day and night. At last, That's an instance of time when we finally solved the problem giving goosebumps and unlocking the next hard level of the problem which we will solve in the future.
Problems are the golden key to success (As I reminded you the school day just for funš¤£ ). Problem-solving skills help you to develop cognitive abilities and gain experience with a certain technology.
