Programming tip: Rubberduck when stuck

In a nutshell

When you’re stuck trying to debug an issue, open up your note-taking app and write down:

• What are you trying to do?
• What is happening right now?

By explicitly articulating what you’re trying to do and what’s currently happening, it’ll become clearer where you’re going wrong.

If you define the problem correctly you almost have the solution.
