If I come to inspect your work, you need a reason for everything you've done. Understand it.

If you can, have 2 or 3 solid reasons why you think something is the way it is.

@PrincessOfCats this is actually one of my biggest pet peeves when people debug in an unstructured manber. "Perhaps it is XYZ" - "Can you walk me through a chain of arguments that would lead from XYZ to what we are seeing?" - "Uhhhh..."
@HalvarFlake @PrincessOfCats I'm really bad/good at this. People say I use the force when I RE. Often I'll just let the program advance slowly while watching and when it feels right I say HERE and pause execution. It's almost always right. Then I go back and prove why. Sometimes I have to get a friend with more formal education to help me prove it which is embarrassing but true.

@Valsmith @HalvarFlake I also work with a lot of experience and intuition to save time when finding things but the important thing is that once you have a hunch you must prove it.

Magick/intuition is an aid to speed but not proof itself.
