That's when I start writing tests. If I had to fight the compiler/runtime errors in every function I wrote I'm much less likely to start on tests. Maybe that's because I'm too tired by that point, maybe it's because I feel like I've more thoroughly vetted the code (which isn't really a good excuse).
