Shoutout to the free Python course from the Boston library

My little weather app project crashed yesterday because I messed up a loop and it ran forever. I spent about three hours staring at the screen before I remembered a video from that library course about using print statements to track values. Stuck one in, saw the problem right away, and felt like a genius. What's your go-to trick when your code just stops working?

Print statements are my lifeline too. I'll scatter them everywhere to watch how data changes. Sometimes just explaining the problem out loud to my cat helps, even if she doesn't care.

Wait, you spent three hours before trying a print statement? I would have given up after twenty minutes and started over. That course saved you from a long night.
