Not sure if "felling" is a typo or not, as it seems appropriate...

They edited the title. It was good though.

Entirely the opposite for me. Code which I haven't been able to get to run for days suddenly runs first time when I ask someone to do a code walkthrough with me. Infuriating.

I have a shelf of ducks, and I organised for everyone in the company to get a branded rubber duck at our last meetup. But there's apparently something special about trying to show buggy code to a real person.

Is there a stair version of a Norman door? I feel like I've seen a story about every president stumbling or falling on those steps. They must be particularly wily, for stairs.
