Sometimes All You Need Is Another Pair of Eyes on Your Code

How code looks when troubleshooting

By now, I am no stranger to running into roadblocks with my code. I find myself to be my own biggest enemy while troubleshooting as lines, colors, and code start to blur.

“It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults.”

I begin to resonate with this quote and find comfort and confidence in allowing myself to be vulnerable, to show my code to others who can look at it with fresh eyes and identify the issue.

Sometimes it’s as simple as another pair of eyes helping to identify the event target being .backgroundColor instead of .color to change the color of the buttons.

It probably won’t get any easier as this journey goes on but I find confidence in knowing we are all in this together and regardless of how experienced one might be, another pair of eyes can always help to identify what you are looking for in your code.

Trust in others and coding is a team sport.
