The “it works” trap 😭

I’ve noticed I can solve a coding problem and get the right output, but sometimes I can’t explain why my solution works.

I used to just move on because the code worked.

Now I’m trying to stop and understand my own solution before jumping to the next problem.

Did anyone else struggle with this when they were starting out? What helped you get past it?
