Good point. Also good to remember is to try to isolate the problem to the
shortest piece of code you can. No one wants to debug 200 lines of code in
their head, hence the abbreviation TLDR (Too Long, Didn't Read!) exists.

And I'd like to add just one more advice:

10) Use an editor that higlights syntax! Much easier to spot the missing
quote, semicolon or some other typo when the syntax is highlighted.
