Advanced Bug Squashing Tips and Tricks
Warning: Bug squashing is a delicate art. Proceed with caution.
Tip #1: Use the Power of Negative Thinking

Tip #2: Practice the Ancient Art of Debugging Meditation
Clear your mind with the soothing sounds of compiler errors and the calming glow of debug consoles.
// Example code to meditate on:
// int x = 5;
// int y = x + 1;
// printf("%d\n", y);
Tip #3: Join a Bug-Squashing Support Group
Share your struggles and triumphs with fellow bug-squashers to stay sane and motivated.
Tip #4: Learn to Love the Fuzz
Avoid the pain of debugging by embracing the beauty of undefined behavior.
// Example code to love:
// int arr[10];
// for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// arr[i] = i;
}
Tip #5: Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help (Really, It's Okay!)
Seek guidance from wise sages like The Code Gurus or The Debugging Gods.
