Discussion on: What do you do, when you are stuck?

I do a whole lot of things when I get stuck, not particularly helpful most of them. Once I got stuck writing a unit test for AngularJs and it took me like 3 days to understand the problem and another 5 to reach the solution.

Without looking at what others have suggested I'd say the obvious first, google it. Also if you can ask teammates or other people on the floor, distance yourself from the problem for a moment like go for a walk.

Also, talk to the rubber duck or in the most desperate situation (like I did) get help from an experienced mentor to solve the problem you're facing.
