    Wow! That was really good! I went in expecting it to either be specific to some language or framework I don't use, or to be mostly simple advice. But it turned out to actually be really good....

    Personally, for me, the very first piece of advice is the most useful — if you can't find the bug you're looking in the wrong place. So many times I've been staring at a piece of code trying to figure out why it's not working, only to later find out that it does work, but something that came before it didn't. (Or sometimes something that came after it misused the result.)
