The problem I was blocked on was in the JS Kata Gradebook. The test wouldn't proceed when I'd called a function because I didn't realise the test was already calling the function. The problem solving techniques I first tried using was googling and trying different things out. I felt like I'd exhausted my capacity to search after an hour or so and decided to ask help. Through the process I felt worn out not being able find a solution to what seemed to be a simple task on my own and due to that I felt irrationally stressed asking for help. I think I can learn to loosen my ego and not be afraid to ask for help, everyone is also incredibly supportive and kind.
A problem that I solved not quite elegantly but smoothly was after I realised how to use console.log (and rubber ducky method). In my first attempt at super fizzbuzz I'd tried to repeat code from an earlier function and I didn't manage to get it working for an array. While I did learn later that it's better to map repeating code, I was adamant about making my first attempt to work to get a better understanding of it. I poured a few hours googling and blindly trying different things. Reading existing discussions on Discord helped put me on the right track but I still struggled to get a working solution. I spoke to my partner about how I felt blind while working on the code and then it clicked that I could use console.log. I used console.log to inspect parts of a working solution to figure out why my first attempt at super fizzbuzz wasn't and then solved it relatively quickly.
