A small coding trick that can save you hours.
Ever spent 30 minutes trying to fix a bug, only to discover it was caused by one tiny mistake? 😅
Next time your code isn't working, resist the urge to change five things at once.
Try this instead:
- Read the exact error message.
- Check the line where the error occurs.
- Reproduce the problem with the smallest possible example.
- Change one thing at a time and test again.
This makes it easier to find the actual cause instead of creating three new problems while fixing one.
It works for more than coding, too. The same approach helps when debugging a design, an API integration, or a workflow.
What's the most frustrating bug you've ever spent hours trying to fix?
