Overheard a senior dev say 'read the errors, not the code' and it clicked for me
Was sitting in a coffee shop last Tuesday and this older dev was helping some kid with a React project. Kid kept staring at his screen going 'why doesnt this work'. The dev just said 'bro, read the errors, not the code'. I used to spend 20 minutes looking for a typo when the terminal was literally telling me which line. Now I copy paste the full error into Google before touching anything. Anyone else have that habit where you try to fix things blind before checking the actual message? Took me like 3 weeks to unlearn it.

Learning to check the error first saved me so much wasted time too.
