Odd. When I look at it, the first item is my own suggestion for debugging:

> In my experience, the most pernicious temptation is to take the buggy, non-working code you have now and to try to modify it with "fixes" until the code works. In my experience, you often cannot get broken code to become working code because there are too many possible changes to make. In my view, it is much easier to break working code than it is to fix broken code.

I think we may have just had different interpretations of "here" in this instance. I took it to mean the article at the link, while you meant the comment that you authored?

I will justify my interpretation because saying "first" primed me to expect a list and the linked comment (and portion quoted) only suggests rewriting, while the article at the link mentions 9 rules to keep in mind during debugging.
