Proactively prevent the errors from appearing in the future through coding practices. When an error occurs: check the trace-back, follow the code knowing that it runs in a sequence. Know that it's usually a single line of code to isolate the problem. Finally, check areas where you are new to an API or usage of a coding concept, because usually you don't know how it actually is supposed to work yet.
