     1. Make backups and make sure they work.
     2. RTFM.
     3. RTFEM (read the fucking error message). If you don't understand the error message, GOTO 2.
     4. If you get code online, take the time to understand it. This will help you learn and also prevent you from accidentally pasting malicious code.

     @nixCraft Debugging. And I don't mean necessarily code. “Debugging" their technical problems, i.e. troubleshooting.
