We have an auto-quote dispatcher when anyone kicks off a build on our server. A recent one struck me as particularly poignant for debugging code.
"Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily." - Johann Christoph Von Schiller
When you have to resort too much to trial-and-error debugging, you have a tendency to start relying on that approach. If on the other hand, you try to clearly understand the root of the problem, future and potentially more difficult problems may be much simpler because you already took the time to understand the system.
