Most of my time goes into turning ideas into software that actually works, which is a nicer way of saying I spend a lot of hours fixing things that don't behave the way I expected. I like that part more than I probably should. There is a specific kind of satisfaction in finding the one line causing a problem that took an entire afternoon to surface.

The bug I remember most wasn't complicated. A form kept submitting twice. I blamed the framework, then the browser, then the network. Four hours in, I found it. My own validation logic was triggering the submit handler twice, and I had written it that way months earlier and forgotten. The bug was not in the tools. It was in my assumption about how my own code worked.
