When you get stuck while learning new stack, how do you deal with it?

When you get stuck while learning new stack, how do you deal with it?

Say you are studying how to use docker / vue.js, there is an error message. And you don't know how to fix it. What's the quickest way?

p.s. Sorry, I am a newbie developer.

    I don't hesitate for a moment to do a google search and generally find answers and code I can copy, paste, and edit, at Stackoverflow.com.

    For me, getting stuck was entirely ego driven because I held onto the notion that "I should be smart enough to figure this out".

    But I work with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Perl. Any one of those can be a career choice, and the notion that I should be perfectly and completely fluent in all of them is just not realistic, but even more important, it isn't necessary.

    After I made a habit of searching for an answer as soon as I got stuck my productivity skyrocketed. I still kick my own ass for being stubborn for so long :D
