I am beginner who thought before doing the String Methods section of the course "You know what, let's test my skills". And boy my skills were tested. After I completed the challenge my jaw dropped, with the solution.

Had/Have this happened to y'all. Where you make something complicated and found out that there was a simple solution?

You have to try and remember the primitive operations available. Say you want to check if any array element matches a predicate. This is a basic operation that's abstracted for almost every language. If we look for "JS array any", we'll get the right function as an MDM result (some). And this works for almost anything. Just try to describe the operation in simple terms and google - you'll quickly find the function you need, and after some time it will become easier and easier :)
