Comment on Ask HN: How to reduce sloppy mistakes?

Comments

I'd say even more F5s (assuming that's how you compile/run). There's nothing wrong with using the computer to catch a missing semicolon or parenthesis. If it takes you 20 minutes to find the error, maybe it's because you haven't been running your code often enough, rather than the reverse.

Coding is debugging just like writing is revising.
