I'd like to add an answer to this question as I've been trudging through some good, bad but mostly ugly Java lately and I have a whole new whopper-load of gross over-generalizations about Java and Java devs vs. JS and JS devs that might actually be based in something vaguely resembling useful truth.

It’s possible that somebody is indeed 10x better than you in finding algorithms, but algorithms are a small part of most programming jobs.
It’s very unlikely that somebody is 10x better than you in every aspect of your job.

I suggest you first read a similar question concerning the over-reliance on IDE.
As for Google, there is nothing bad in relying on Google in your daily work. Note that with time, you'll become more and more familiar with the framework, and you'll need Google only for more difficult cases.

Then I sketch (very roughly and on paper or a whiteboard) two or three possible solutions. Then I ask myself, "Is there anything else I need to know to implement any of these?"
Once I have an my initial questions (there are questions 100% of the time, if you ...

...my tendency is to jump into coding without a real plan and hope I figure it out as I go along.
I did this while at university. It became a real problem and would typically result in rewriting code. I began to address this by not writing code. I placed emphasis on thought about the problem. With enough practice, I instinctively reach for my thoughts ...
