Learning to code

When you have an old unfixed bug and a new one which you're trying to fix, and you are not quite sure if they're related but suspect so, chances are... they are (the second one is not that much of a bug but a side effect of your first). Do your best to fix the old (possibly lower priority) bug first. It may save you some time. It did for me today.

Never work around a workaround

Needless to say I learned it the hard way. The right approach should always be to remove the workaround and go the straight way.
