Not
everybody understands electronics that well as you do Tony. An educated
I don't claim to be a programmer, but I sure as heck don't debug programs
by making random changes and seeing what hapepns. I do try to understand
what's going on.
Really? Because recently I've been working on a couple of things where
that was the only way I could make any progress, initially. Force a few
variables to different values, and see what falls off.
That's not making random changes. It sounds like the equivalent of making
careful tweaks to hardware adjustments to see what happens (this is not
the same as turning every adjustment all over the place hoping it'll fix
the fault!).
And I am quite sure you had some idea as to what was going on before you
started chenging things.
And I must admit that my first reaction when I
discover I don't know
something that would be useful to know is to try to learn or understand
it.
Often easier said than done. Especially when a lot of people think it's
clever to use compiler side-effects to get things done.
Err, yes.....
