- And if you ever get stuck and can't see the problem no matter how many
- dozens of hours you've looked for it, explain your frustrations to another
- programmer, have them glance at your code, and 9 times out of 10 they will
- see the problem within 30 seconds... :^)

- Don't feel too bad about this...you'll spot their "killer problem" in under
- 30 seconds some day too...nobody knows why, but this does happen. A lot.
