Most Bugs Aren’t Technical — They’re Conceptual

Why misunderstanding the problem causes more failures than syntax ever will.

The code was correct.
The idea wasn’t.

I’ve learned that most bugs come from unclear thinking, not broken logic.
When requirements are vague, code becomes defensive.
When intent is clear, solutions become obvious.

Before fixing bugs, I now ask one question:
“Do I actually understand the problem?”

That question has saved me more time than any debugger ever did.
