I’m opposite about the feeling.

When I work on a problem that’s new to me, I ask around, explaining the problem, checking if someone recognizes the domain, if it is known.

When someone explains to me what I’m working on is a solved problem, I take great joy from it since I already understand the issue some, I can criticize or take great energy from learning something for sure.

I believe how to feel about it is a choice btw. As movie says “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”.

That's generally how I do it as well. One of the positives about remote work is I can go on my general programming slack channel at my work and write out my problem and get better visibility than going around my local area in my office.

Also I end up getting to meet programmers from different projects/departments that I would have never met if I was only working in office.
