Do you actually try to learn from your bugs, or just fix and move on?
Been thinking about this lately.
When you hit an error — do you genuinely try to understand WHY it happened? Or do you just fix it, maybe Google it, and keep going?
I ask because I keep noticing I make the same types of mistakes repeatedly. Like I'll fix a scope issue today, hit the same scope issue three weeks later, fix it again, and never actually sit down and think "okay I clearly don't understand this concept properly."
And I wonder if that's just me or if most developers do this.
Also curious — in the current AI era where you can just ask Claude or Copilot to fix your error instantly — do you even bother understanding the fix? Or does it not matter anymore as long as it works?
Not judging either way, genuinely curious how other developers think about this.
