Thank you for your response.
1. If I'm completely stuck, I try to get away from the problem for a short while and return to it again, because forcing myself generally doesn't help in solving it faster. I found that this generally works better, at least for me.
2. I'll try this.
3. I'd probably think they either don't know what I've done, or they are very proficient at it.
4. I don't believe that software development will become a less valued skillset. The hype around it might die, but then again I don't really about that. I enjoy tech as an observant consumer who pays attention to detail, and believe that I'd be capable to translate my observations to a new product/tech. What I currently lack to do so is a technical toolset.
How would you evaluate my answers to the questions?
- chipuni 8y ago1. I would pick up other techniques for getting myself unstuck. Stopping and doing something else sometimes works... and sometimes, it just makes you later. Favorite ones for me include googling (you'll be doing a lot of this!), rubber duck debugging ( https://rubberduckdebugging.com/ https://rubberduckdebugging.com/ ), and occasionally the Creative Whack Pack ( https://creativewhack.com/product.php?productid=64 https://creativewhack.com/product.php?productid=64 ). 4. Although software development won't become less valued, each individual technical toolset has a natural rise and fall. Older technologies move out of favor. Think about how you deal with studying something for years, then learning that particular technology -- although it's still very good -- is just "not popular", so companies no longer want to use it. Good luck, no matter whether you move into coding or not!
