Am I not self-sufficient enough when it comes to solving problems that I see for the first time?
Hi all, I have this habit where whenever I see a new problem, instead of trying out the most naive approach to the problem that I can think of (due to a mental blockade in my head thinking that I won't be able to solve the problem in the most "efficient" way, even though I don't exactly have the criteria of what efficient look like, maybe the time doing Leetcode has messed up my brain with all of the arbitrary acceptance requirements, I'm also afraid of the fact that the approach that I come up with have bugs due to edge cases that I haven't think of), I instead choose to go online and search to see how other people have solved this problem (since I assume that I am not the first one that encountered such problem). However I feel like doing this overtime will lower my ability to think and reason with different approaches to the same problem, which will ultimately cause me to not being able to solve a genuinely new problem that I (and probably the internet) have never seen before.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and for the people who have overcame this, how did you guys do it? Thanks in advance, y'all!
