Yeahh I heard about it. But I have to tell people about it when I'm asking for help. I'm trying to do as much on my own as possible but there are moments where it's more than I can deal with.
Don’t tell them the whole project. Breaking a problem down to smaller components will help you conceptualize possible solutions, narrow down the problem space, and avoid the dopamine hit effect by discussing a single discrete problem, e.g. “how do I pull [x] from the database.”
I only described it here for context, usually I focus on the functionality itself, unless the bigger picture is needed even though it's a little difficult for me to tell which details are important and what can be omitted. Sometimes despite my best efforts there's some confusion and making it right is consuming a lot of energy.
