another pitfall
Another pitfall is being the first person to ever encounter a particular error. I too have google-fu, and sometimes it amazes me how many error message I get don't show up in google search results. All I can think is: Come on! Surely they indexed the source code for this application from GitHub or elsewhere and the error messages have to be in the source code, right? Right?
Sometimes I'll RDP into a machine in another state or on another continent and run the same search from there just to see if they are hiding things from me....
