# There might be multiple issues with your code. '''Fix them all''', and ask for elaboration on all comments you don't understand. Sometimes you need to fix more than one thing to get it working, and sometimes one thing might not contribute right now, but it might be an issue later. This also has another effect, caused by the fact that many software developers are inherently trained to stop reading after the first bug they encounter. If your code has several (possibly minor) issues, you'll only get the first few issues, and not the ones that matter the most at that time. until you do follow up and explain what you did and that it still doesn't work.

# <strike>Don't trust rdos.</strike> There are a lot of people trying to help, but you'll find that some people post arbitrary suggestions based on their own lack of understanding. Again, if you don't understand why, you are better to question the suggestion for elaboration and understand what's really happening.
