Sep. 23rd, 2005 02:01 pmI keep making stupid stupid errors the last couple days, and taking way
too long trying to find them. Yesterday I spent most of the morning
trying to figure out why my changes were not showing up, only to
discover--after far too much retrying--that I'd copied the changed files
into the wrong directory. Today, I spent hours trying to figure out why
a field wouldn't activate, only to discover I left out a single vital
line from a method--a line that was the whole purpose of that method.
I found myself thinking, if only I wouldn't make these rookie
mistakes, I'd get this done much faster and be less stressed out and
swamped. It's true, but on the other hand I realize that the reason
I'm making the mistakes in the first place is that I'm stressed out and
swamped. Vicious circle.
