DebugBetter - Level-up your debugging skills!

Confidence and debugging

Debugging is difficult. You have some steps that produce an error or the report of an error without steps. You’re trying to fill in the gaps.

It can feel overwhelming. The investigation takes you into code and systems you’re unfamiliar with. Now you’re tracing an issue and trying to decipher and understand a new area.

Taking a step back, this might lead you to look at a bug and say: “No thanks”. Or to give up and shrug: “Who knows why that happens”.

With debugging skills, techniques, and tools, you will be confident when confronted by a bug. No matter how ambiguous, you’ll know the ways to get the detail needed. No matter when it leads you, you know you can dive in and get the answers required.

Experience brings confidence, but capability will get you there faster!
