December has a way of exposing logic problems that somehow stayed hidden all year, especially when the building is empty and the dashboards are still very much alive.

The calendar says holidays. The office says silence. You open the set analysis one last time, confident it’s just a small tweak. But the numbers disagree. A filter behaves differently than it did yesterday. A metric vanishes without explanation.

There’s no one left to ask, no meeting to blame, just you, the logic, and a growing collection of empty coffee cups. The question isn’t how many coffees it takes anymore. The answer is simply yes… and silence.

December Debug Survival Guide (Set Analysis Edition)

  • Re-check default selections before touching logic.

  • Validate assumptions with a single date or value.

  • Isolate filters instead of layering fixes.

  • Trust the math, not the memory of how it “used to work”.

  • Walk away briefly, logic hates desperation.

Silence is useful, but only if used wisely.

💡Key Takeaway: 

Some bugs only reveal themselves when the year slows down and the noise disappears.
December doesn’t fix logic… it removes excuses.
