   When I'm debugging code and find myself stumped as to why it's not working, the reason often turns out to be something so basic that it's easy to overlook, i.e. I simply didn't think it was worth checking. Of course, these things aren't too stupid to check -- on the contrary -- but I certainly feel stupid after wrestling with something for an hour only to realize that, e.g., I didn't save my changes.

   So here's a list of simple things that might end up saving you minutes or hours, categorized by the scope of the potential issue (is it a typo in a file vs. am I on the wrong server/environment). The intended audience of this list is newer developers, but experienced developers can be well-served by keeping these points in mind as well.
