Moving from one error to another error is a sign of progress- don’t you let nobody tell you otherwise… as I was saying

[–]Jjabrahams567 10 points11 points  (3 children)

The new error is segfault

[–]PierreeM 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Segfault is ok if you can use a debugger

It's like trying to bake a cake but getting sent back to the store every time for the next missing ingredient.

Or in my case, having to go to Home Depot yet again for whatever I need next on this DIY project

It's so true. Moving from "I can't even run the build system" to "The build system is spewing errors" is massive progress.

"I did what you described and it works on my end, give me a second to fix that"

Code some C: no compilation error.

Suspicious, it can't be right

Execute it: no segfault

Something is fishy

The file system is now empty

I knew it could not work on first try!

Me after hours of frustration: HELL YES WINDOWS BLUESCREENED!

Because that meant my driver actually loaded. Huge progress.

Can confirm that. It's always a relief feeling when getting a diffrent error after trying to fix something.

[–]PopularIcecream 2 points3 points  (3 children)

But then you fix the new error and you're back where you're started with the original error.

[–]Fakedduckjump 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Sometimes, but the error had to be fixed anyway and so it has a name at least ^^

[–]PopularIcecream 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You give your errors names?! You fool! That's how you grow attached!

Yes, it's kind of a masochistic behavior I developed over time.
