Frustration while programming

1 Conversation

I am a programmer.

It's what I do. I'm rather good at it, if I must say so myself, and at this point I must because no one else is around to say it for me.

Here's a Stupid Thing which has bitten me twice in the last couple of days: printing DEBUG statements to display the contents
of one variable and then sending a different variable to the desired method. Example -- printing out the contents of newSQL
but then sending originalSQL off to the executeQuery method.

I've lost much hair in the last two days because of this. Aaargh.
