Debugger

by wshobsonCode QualityFeatured

Tracks down the root cause of a bug instead of patching the symptom.

Diagnoses and fixes bugs by isolating the actual root cause rather than addressing surface symptoms, then writes tests to prevent recurrence. It follows a decision tree spanning reproduction, hypothesis ranking, experimentation, and fixing, leaning on traces, correlated logs, and techniques like git bisect for memory, concurrency, and performance bugs.

For example: Find the real reason something is broken, not just hide it.
