> Of course.  But I know the symptoms of these things,

I don't think anyone can "know" the symptoms of neglecting some of these
practises.  Missing bypass caps, for example, can cause bizzarre flaky
operation in seemingly unrelated parts of the circuit.  Poor code
documentation invites things like bank setting errors which also have no
reliable symptoms.

Look, you're the one that came to us with a problem.  Obviously there is
*something* wrong, and furthermore you obviously don't know what it is.
The problem seems to be that you don't know what you don't know, and
aren't willing to learn.  I see you've been given a lot of good advice
from people that clearly know a lot more about electronics and PICs than
you do, but you turn around and argue that it's irrelevant instead of
heading it.  You don't have to take others' advice, but if you're not
willing to accept any of it, please stop wasting everyone's time asking
for it.
