面试官在这里寻找的是良好的判断力:既不是固执到一整天被卡住,也不是急不可耐以至于从不尝试。最佳策略是设定时间限制加上清晰的提问。
如何处理

RULE OF THUMB
→ Try on your own for a bounded time (e.g. 30-60 min)
→ Write down what you tried and where you're stuck
→ Then ask a specific question, not "it doesn't work"
实际示例

S: A build kept failing with a cryptic error.
T: I needed it fixed to unblock my PR.
A: I spent 45 minutes searching and trying fixes, noted the exact error and my
attempts, then asked a senior with that context.
R: She recognized it in two minutes — a known cache issue. I learned the fix and
documented it so others wouldn't lose time.
优秀 vs 较弱

✓ Time-boxed effort, then a specific ask
✓ Respects others' time with context
✗ Stays stuck for hours out of pride
✗ Pings someone before trying at all
