Of debugging and the forum

For the past few days I have been coding a product design.· It is the first "real" project I have done with the propeller.· Most everything else has been toying around for hobby or demonstration purposes.

I will say the fourm has been a great resource to check code examples, to validate that others stumbled on the same problems, and to ask the questions that I couldn't get answers to.· It occured to me that one of the most valuable aspects of the forum is the posts I never made.· There have been four or five times where I sat down, spent 20 minutes typing a post, pasting code, explaining what I thought the code was doing and then out of no where.....

BAM!!

..it hit me.· The act of writting out my thoughts and explaining the code to forum helped me to find the bug or resource that I needed.· I never end of hitting the submit button because the act of writing out my post helped me to find the problem.· How many other 'almost' posts have there been by the users?· I guess we will never know....thanks for the forum guys, I love the support.

    I had one of those almost-posts yesterday. Like you, writing out the question got me thinking and the answer came to me [noparse]:)[/noparse]
