Anyone can write code.
But when it breaks? That's where the real craft begins.
Debugging isn't frustration; it's detective work.
Every bug is a clue. Every error message, a whisper pointing to the truth.
The question is — do you have the patience to listen?
I've spent hours staring at the same block of code, wondering why reality doesn't match logic.
And then, click — the realization hits. That dopamine rush is addictive.
The Process I Trust
- Reproduce the bug — if you can't see it, you can't fix it.
- Isolate variables — strip the code until only the failing path remains.
- Read the logs — they tell you what the code won't.
- Fix, then write a test — future-proof the win.
The art of debugging isn't about speed.
It's about precision. Curiosity. The mindset that says:
"I'm not leaving until I understand."
For me, debugging is meditation in chaos. It's me versus the unknown — and I love the fight.
