Watercooler

Realizing the importance of carefully reading documentation and the consequences of missing a step.

When you realize that you missed a single step in the documentation after debugging the issue

This is the worst feeling. Or if you build something to then realize that there is an in-built function for this exact thing.

Good tip. It reminds me that it is always like that in life. It’s always better to check the “basics” before. But, we need to know what are the “basics”. :D

At least you become great at debugging 😄

6h of debugging, 1h reading documentation and 5 min in source code -&gt; hidden undocumented feature or very “clever” if statement.
