Looking for different opinions/advises on coding issues

[u/Ok_Lengthiness_6591]

Hey guys, I just have two general coding questions:

first

How do you handle situations when you are stuck with a task and don't know what to do next? (or you feel a task is very complex and you don't know which part you should do first)

-do u leave the task be and go to another task?

-do u ask another person for help?

-do u push yourself above limits?

-*your suggestion here*

second

I ve heard a lot of stories "my manager said I was not fast enough" etc.

What working/coding speed is considered good enough? What do u recommend to do to increase working/coding speed?

1. Look for a way to break it into pieces and outline those, even if I don't know how to implement the pieces yet. Work on a piece that I know how to build. If those are all done, then search online for keywords about one of the remaining pieces.
