This is so true, probably about 90% of the time my colleagues call me over about a problem they are facing, explain in detail what the problem is and then eureka! Most of the time it would actually take me much longer to figure out the exact issue since I don't know the ins/outs and subtleties of the code but it's exactly as you say.
Of course, it makes me look really good cos I just "helped" them solve their issue :)

- kamjam 14y agoYup, for sure it is, sometimes just having someone else there and having to run through all the steps for them points out the obvious. There was another user further down that said he solved a lot of his own problem just typing them out with enough detail to be able to post on StackOverflow. Same principle.
