This x1000 debuggers are seriously undervalued by many developers. It’s like a super power.



What are some good resources to learn about debugging patterns and tips/tricks? My preferred language, Julia, recently introduced a nice set of tools related to debugging. I feel like there's probably things that would make me more productive but I think the techniques would be more broadly applicable than a specific language.


One thing I always do these days is I step through any new code I've written the first time I run it. This usually weeds out some bugs that might take a while to find because they are easy to miss. It also ensures that you actually go through each line of code you write, doing a forced code review on yourself early on.
