Hi everyone , hope you are ok and making great progress , speaking about progress ; as a developer I find myself most of the time just stuck , not knowing what to do next or even what to search about , just literally stuck and I spend days and days trying to solve/implement a problem or a feature and I get even more stuck and more confused.

for example , if i’m doing some challenges on FrontEndMentor and each time I encounter a certain feature and I’ve never seen how to implement that feature before I get stuck , now OFC then I research on stackoverflow and other places to get concepts and I end up solving it , but that’s rare to happen , normally I get stuck and just ask some AI to solve it and that’s destructive for my skills as a developer , because I want to be good.

getting stuck takes so much time , in my case I got stuck on a problem and it’s been 5 days with very minimal progress (I would say 10%) , If you are curious about this problem here is it

function filterActive(select activeBtn from the DOM and foreach with click event with if else )
function filterInActive(same with the filterActive)
function showAll(same with the filterActive)
// make the code DRY

yeah I know callbacks I know event delegation I know parameters but still I couldn’t solve it , and this is just an example OFC the same stuck state is very repetitive with me with CSS and react and JS and many more .

So do I need more knowledge? maybe there is a knowledge gap? or my problem solving approach is wrong? how when I encounter something just start and solve not start and get stuck and keep stuck

I’m really interested about your thoughts anything will help. Thank you
