@davidbisset Top Three are:
Googling the Error message
The Guy Who Wrote This Is Gone
Vague Understanding of computer Science
Story:
I had a close group of computer geeks in school. Unfortunately their families were far richer than mine so they moved away while I languished. One of them built explosives for fun.
We often talked about computer science in over-the-top analogies.
Example:
The old laptops the school handed out were "Hamster boxes" And we measured the TTL in H-cycles - or how long the poor beleaguered hamster inside each laptop to carry one data signal/packet etc. from one side of the laptop to the other.

EmbraceBecoming@davidbisset I don't know what you're talking about, "Fixed it again, hopefully for good this time" is a perfectly good and endlessly useful commit message I don't have to stand for this kind of slander
Joe_G_Kushner@davidbisset I dig this books. I know Blaming the User is often referenced at the office by the whole team I work with.

Deb4+ aka Deborah DT 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️Changing stuff and seeing what happens.
It's been almost 40 years. Can I admit I brought down the MD water system (?) by wondering what happened if you tried to delete a location?? I mean, it wouldn't let you do that without a challenge, would it?
And it was one of those really fast and vast databases just before relational databases
I think we all had most of the afternoon off then.
Raroun@davidbisset Every Developer read all of them.
