What is a realistic first 2-week plan for learning after a few failed attempts?

The safe answer is to keep the API boring: clear names, explicit errors and one behavior per function. For me it came down to the tiny repair

I would log teh input, teh expected output and teh actual output first. Once those three are visible, teh bug usually stops feeling mysterious. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines

Try making a tiny reproduction with no framework code. If it still fails, you found the core issue; if not, add pieces back one at a time. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context

the conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day
