Some days, even if you feel motivated, your brain just doesn't want to cooperate. You might find yourself staring at your code, but it feels like scaling a huge wall. I've been trying out autocomplete tools like Copilot and BlackboxAI to help push through, but sometimes they feel more like a crutch than a solution. I'm looking for advice from seasoned developers—do you take a break when you're stuck, or do you rely on tools to regain your momentum?

Honestly, this happens to everyone, including me. What keeps me going is the thought of mortgage payments and grocery bills. Yeah, it’s tough!

In my experience, taking a break is key. Sometimes that means switching to a different task or part of the codebase, so you're still being productive while giving your brain a little breather. On tough days, stepping outside for some fresh air can make a world of difference!
