DonjonMaisterStage 4.5: console.log() everything.
0x4E4FStep 4.6 - get another drive for the logs.
4.7: Write app specific log parser
4.8: Fix log parser

Race conditions are the worst
Good ol’ Heisenbugs.
We have logging software built in, but I can never remember how to turn it on, so I just console.log

if ((x != x) || (x == x+1)) then it's one of those weird numbers
Get enough experience and you just have a brief moment of stage 3 as you dive straight to stage 4.
Unless it's a customer/that-one-guy-at-work (it's a title, but there's usually a handful of them) and then there's this vast stage 0 of back and forth of "are you sure that's happening, run these commands and paste the entire output to me" to be sure of what they are saying then you jump to stage 3/4.
I jump straight to step 6
kriss0706its funny i see this now, after spending 3 hours debugging D:
"I notice that I am confused, and thus that one of my beliefs is fiction."
dan1101How did that ever work, I've been there many times.
One of the best pieces of advice I have ever gotten was to build diagnostics first. The time it takes to do will pay for itself 100X over the course of development.
My wife got me this shirt…
I have some Excel VBA scripting that I've been on 1-4 for a while now, so there's a branch off of 4 that should be "fuck it, here's the workaround" or "that part isn't that important anyway, ignore it".
(it's actually not Excel that's the problem, it's the change to its call to IE that throws up a stupid security warning.)
My boss does 1 <--> 2 with us over most every bug any of us has ever found. Ticking time-bomb...
Everyone always skips the last step, but that's where you learn.
ZcaTHas it ever!?
z500Every time that last part happens I have to check the proper spelling of Berenstain. I've had some that really seem like they should have been impossible lol
