I think enjoying the struggle will lead you wrong more often than not. I normally find that if I’m really struggling, it doesn’t mean I’m learning, it means I’m missing some information and I need to seek guidance. I’ve always learned more from looking at a successful existing implementation than trying to brute force my own solution (though it’s fun/useful to have a pop at something on your own first, of chorse). Sure, you need some tenacity and concentration, but I don’t understand people who will happily and repeatedly bash their head against a wall for hours without ever checking whether there’s a way around the wall!
