Naming was often my biggest block. I often know the project topic, but cannot choose a name. Then, of course, there's variable, function and file naming. Turns out the AI is fantastic at choosing good names, so that block is largely obviated these days.

I had a block for a while because I _had_ chosen a name for my language. Suddenly what I was writing was the official implementation, it had to be "right", and I got design paralysis. I found I was making further progress doing exercises outside that repository. (It's all good now, and I have a self-hosted language.)

At the function level, I'll often write the function and then rename it with F2 after I've written it.
