Beginner devs: One thing to keep in mind is that you will get stressed. So when you do try and do something that is productive but also will help you get organised. Such as:

  • Write a to-do list. Or prioritise the one you're on.
  • Write out (using a pen/pencil) the problem you are having in basic language. Sometimes that helps with understanding the problem in a slightly different way.
  • Rubber duck to another dev/or whoever. If you can explain the problem to someone, sometimes that is enough to find the answer.

Other than that just remember: You are capable of finding the answer, but that doesn't mean help isn't the wrong way to go.
