How would you solve this rainy evening problem with ux with limited time?
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where backend stopped feeling new.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. ux got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Start by reducing it to the smallest reproducible piece, then change one variable at a time. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.
- Write down the exact error and the input that caused it.
- Make a tiny example, then add pieces back slowly.
- Keep the final fix boring and well-named.
Hope this helps!

That should give you a solid first pass.
