When coding you will come across problems that you need to solve and usually it takes a hour or more but it can also lead to hours and hours of working on the same problem and of course thats never fun to be stuck on the same problem for days.
Eventually your brain will start to shut down and you just end up looking at your computer screen and not come up with a solution. As my teacher would call it "you are now entering the zombie mode" . This means you are just looking at a screen and nothing is making sense into what your trying to achieve and the solution is far off and you're only getting more frustrated and the more frustrated you get the more you will shut down.
The best way for this is to go out side have a walk and just try and calm your self down, in time you will start getting better solutions or solve the actual problem. its ok to be stuck on a certain problem for a few days as some things are just hard to understand or do and as a junior developer you really don't know every solution or be able to solve problems quickly.
Top tips i can give you as this has happened to me a lot of times these past few weeks is
Thankfully when working in a team you won't have the zombie mood too often as you have more people to help you and understand the issue or find a solution. The down side is when one person goes into shutting down mode it can spread through out the team.
The goal is to think positive and get through it when your brain is shutting down !
Happy coding
