    Yes. I tell my mentees this all the time.

    Decades ago, as a new developer, I expected to stop getting stuck like this.

    Instead I get stuck, like this, on really interesting problems with really valuable solutions.

    So that was a fun surprise, I guess. Lol.

      I was stuck on a problem for six months, and after figuring that out I banged it out in an afternoon. If anything you get stuck for even longer

        If I’m stuck on something for more than a few hours, I ask one of the more junior developers on my team if they have any ideas. Sometimes, a new perspective helps a lot!
