ALT a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com

ALT series of DMs from me: the other day i was trying to explain to someone how i felt about tech and i was like when i was in college i heard a statistic that more than half of women in STEM leave the field in under 10 years and i thought, wow that's so sad, but i'm different and now i'm at year 6 and why are people so sexist and mean and racist in this field holy shit lol i know there could always be even MORE sexism if i were in law or finance or something, so comparatively it's pretty good but why am i comparing like, stepping on one poop to potentially like ten poops in other industries it's all poop
