  1. I used to work in an enterprise project (10% recent, the rest legacy, you know the type). Sometimes when we'd have an urgent bug come through a colleague and I would look at it together, he would always read up the logfiles to see if he thought any other errors (there were always a lot) could be related. Meanwhile I would look at the code starting at the reported line of the error and try to work out from that how it was theoretically possible for such an error to occur. We made a good team and often found additional issues we otherwise would have missed.

  2. it's such an insufficient explanation, a null pointer dereference is a symptom not the root cause.
