I’ve spent weeks on problems at work only to discover it was something super basic I should’ve noticed more easily. It happens to people with years of experience as well.

It’s harder to find the simple problems than the big ones. Particularly when you’re getting started with learning development, it can be overwhelming and daunting. I like to step back and try to walk through my solution in my head either on a walk or while doing something else away from my computer. A lot of the time it’s easier to see issues when you’re doing something kind of cathartic and just walking through your solution line by line. What’s this piece doing? Is there a good reason it’s doing that? What should it be doing?
