The coding experience
(b.l3n.co)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
As someone with 20+ years coding experience, this only gets worse as you get more experienced.
Yes. 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.
I 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
If 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!
Unfortunately it was for a personal project and nobody else understands the system so, haha
