When a developer faces a coding problem, the developer must stop and think.
Rushing to fix a problem often creates more problems. A developer should spend more time planning than typing.
When a developer's code fails, the developer must stop typing. The developer should take a short break, perhaps 30 seconds. This break helps the developer clear their mind. The developer then needs to remember the original goal. The developer should compare the goal to what the code actually does. This comparison shows where the code went wrong. Then the developer can plan the fix. This thinking process is more important than typing new code quickly.
A developer is writing a program. The program crashes unexpectedly. The developer feels stressed and starts typing many changes quickly. These changes do not fix the problem. Instead, they introduce new errors. The developer should have stopped, thought about the crash, and planned a solution. This would have saved time and prevented more mistakes.

A team can use different categories for problems. Each category tells the team how to fix the problem.
Making a mistake for the first time is part of learning. This is acceptable.
A developer must add a comment for every code change. The comment must include the date of the change.
When a background task fails, the AI model must stop. The AI model must explain what broke and why.
