I'm in this picture and I don't like it. Yesterday I was trying to debug my reverse proxy setup for a new app and why it wouldn't work.

Well, if you configure it to route shinyNewApp.example.com to your app, but then always access sihnyNewApp.example.com with your browser...

I was reading Crafting Interpreters. After adding function calls and stack frames, i tested my implementation with the Fibonacci script at the end of the chapter

I spent about 2 hours debugging my call stack, and even tested the script in Python

Only to realize that Fib(3) is indeed 2

Oh, I love this one, it's very silly. I find it oddly grounding when I discover that the cause of a problem was me being silly, because I'm already aware that I am prone to foolish errors (as all humans are); when I discover that an unfathomable computer error is actually my fault, it feels like everything is right with the world
