I think all Doc Mana is saying is try to think as much as possible when writing code instead of relying too much on the debugging process (or debugger) to ferret out coding mistakes via trial and error.
It may _seem_ to take more effort initially, but in the long run you spend less time running and re-running code trying to find errors. Also, in a complex program, you may not be able to find certain errors by manually running your program because you can't be sure if you have traversed certain code paths. Being careful when writing your code goes a long way towards avoiding these kinds of error. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
