    Debugging tips: 1. Simplify the problem to isolate the bug. 2. Use tools: debuggers, logs, and tests. 3. Revert to a stable version and test changes step-by-step. 4. Research: read docs or ask on forums. Stay methodical and focused!

    One strategy that made things easier for me is writing test cases for the bug itself. It helps isolate the issue and ensures it won’t happen again, making debugging a lot easier.

    In my experience, adding print statements or using a debugger is really helpful for finding issues. Print statements reveal variable values or confirm if the code is running as expected, while a debugger lets us pause and inspect everything step by step. When I’m stuck, sharing the error message with an AI tool like ChatGPT can be a game-changer. It often catches what I miss and provides helpful suggestions—it’s like having an extra pair of eyes!

    Adding log points or flags might help. Even some interrupt statements are helpful if you can afford rerunning the code multiple times. To the best of what I know is Log based debugging is one of the best.
