Have you ever got that piece of advice about - when you have stuck on a bug you seem unable to track - getting a plush toy to whom you explain your code? (This is of course a workaround if you do not have a fellow developer to help you out).
Well... I found out this advice kind of works for me, with the notable difference that my plush toy is this mailing list. It works so wonderfully that indeed is several months I do not post any message: whenever I get stuck, I begin to write a message to the list, and in the process of explaining what is the intended behaviour and outcome of my code, I systematically find the bug by myself. I know - this is slightly OT for the list - but I thought to share as maybe this is a "hidden benefit" the list is bringing to a few people without the tutors even knowing it. Does anybody else experience the same?
