Things Programmers Shout #972
Program: *Does not do what it’s supposed to.* Me: “But where is the error?” Me: *compiles code piece by piece to find the error, while the ‘error in line such-and-such’ remains unhelpful* Me: *finds the part that throws the error* Me: “There is no error here…” Me: *goes through letter by letter* Me: “…I forgot the array brackets and instead asked for a variable.” Me: “Why is this throwing an error twenty lines later in a completely different code section?”
