So. Programming. For people who program for a living, it's a constant game of mental Jenga: one line of code stacked upon another, building a tower of code you hope is robust enough not to come crashing down. But it always does. Code never works the first time it's run. And so, one of the key skills for any programmer is debugging -- the art and science of finding why code isn't running or is doing something unexpected or undesirable. This week, I was working on three coding tasks for software I maintain. Two were fixes for bugs reported by users. One was a new piece of code to add a new feature. This was real, run-of-the-mill programming work for me. It was part of my regular work schedule.
