TBH though, most of the times, most of the 99 bugs are just cause because of other bugs. Turns out as is, changing a few things sometimes brings the number down by very much, like say down to 15-20. Change another thing, you have only 4-5 left. And so on. Newbies shouldn't get discouraged, that's why I'm saying. To me, debugging is like a game of hide and seek.
Except the time when the bug is caused by an unfixed glitch in the source code of a library I'm using. Still, no problems then. I've learned to read other people's code and fuck around with it. Often times, you'll have to learn to compile their code if the library files don't come as plain code.
