Being stuck. Just avoid reaching for an AI

I think the best way is to solve small real-world problems instead of jumping into difficult challenges. Build simple projects, break problems into smaller steps, write the logic on paper first, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. That's where real problem-solving starts.

Hi,
Honestly, problem solving gets better only when you spend time being stuck. Start with small problems, try to understand what the question is really asking, and break it into tiny steps. Before writing code, explain the solution to yourself in simple words. It may feel slow in the beginning, but that struggle is where most of the learning happens.

Also, do not rush to check the solution after five minutes. Give yourself enough time to think, make mistakes, and try different approaches. After you solve it, look at other solutions and understand what you could improve. With regular practice, you slowly start noticing patterns, and problems that once looked difficult become much more manageable.

Work at call center operations, so useful

Practice. Solve small problems every day, get stuck, debug, and learn from different solutions. Problem solving is a skill you build over time, not something you memorize.

Bro do not use Ai before feeling the pain. DO NOT USE IT. Use it as a boosting tool to implement big project and systems, but don't use it to solve practicing problems, you have to do it by your own
