Some of us dinosaurs have been using the term 'debugging into existence' for thirty years and I'm not at all sure it was original then. I'm more the obsessive-compulsive sort that likes to stare into the depths of the Matmos until we have the basics - or even full scope - of the answer in our heads before rising from our meditation mats, ritually washing ourselves in the blood of java-weenies, and sinking a few lattés on the way to the keyboard-shrine.
