I am inspired to expand this illustration, help me out! What's your favorite data science / coding instruction pitfall? Mine is forgetting that multi-factor authentication exists, no phone no backup codes cool 💪

To all data science instructors diving into Fall Quarter, sending you the courage of Captain Unflappable.
A small monster in a superhero cape and mask, labeled "Captain Unflappable", stands before a nervous crowd of students. Captain Unflappable is looking confidently at coding demo obstacles in her path, like a dangling anvil labeled "Live Troubleshooting," a banana peel labeled "wait...what version?", a rake on the ground labeled "Ha ha internet's out" and a pitfall trap labeled "You're still spelling that wrong." Hands on hips, she's ready to charge it.

a debugging manifesto
a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com
