I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
The most useful advice I can give for when you're stuck is to step away from it, and go for a walk.
Sounds trite, but it works incredibly well. Only today I was going round in circles on a problem, and I went out to buy some lunch. I was barely out the door before I'd realised what the problem was and how to fix it.

I absolutely agree with you there Matthew! Sometimes all it takes it stepping away from the problem to gain clarity and find the solution.
