I 100% agree with your stuff. I start with responsibility. If I created it I can fix it. It is incredibly disempowering to start from the opposite position.

Working through the most likely possible causes can be pretty quick, I can learn so much and sometimes I can put in place a creatie fix before I even find the problem. I know that may surprise you especially since you know me and my “what’s a tag”!

Good one and yep wholeheartedly agree about document because should you need help in the end it is far easier and faster to be able to say tried x,y,z. I copy everything into text files or notepad now so I always have a record of what fixes, bits of code, where to change stuff was. So valuable for those 6 or 12 months down the track “now what did I do when that happened” or “I needed to change that once before and I” moments!

Love your work mate!

Wish I was clever enough to be that subtle mate – no, certainly wasn’t directed at any specific question in the forum, more of a pattern of challenges that I see people face and an observation of how they seem to go about solving them (“blame scattergun technique”) versus how I go about solving them (process of elimination with me as primary suspect). Not that I don’t occasionally whip out the blame scattergun!

And I was actually asked by someone how I fix stuff which made me think about it – always a dangerous thing!
