Good for you, Brandon! I can see that you are getting a much better
feel for what system-level debugging is. Code debugging is usually
much simpler because you don't have to remember meta-information about
each 'thing' you are dealing with until you get to a much higher
level.
i. e.
mutt
usage: console-only
format: ASCII
outlook
usage: GUI only
format: html
...
As a sophisticated coder, you will end up dealing with multi-level
knowledge constructs as a matter of course. When you start doing this
with your girlfriends, it'll really get you in trouble...
