Key Takeaways

• Test all edge cases, especially for code copied from Stack Overflow.
• Floating-point arithmetic is hard.
• Do include proper attribution when copying code. Someone might just call you out on it.

If you figure out something fun, and integration that otherwise wasted an hour or two. Find ways to document it. On StackOverflow or on your blog or what have you. Just do that. Many developers including your future self will thank you for that.

So does this implies writing question and posting your own answer ?

LOL. Lesson : don't copy/paste without knowing what's happening
