Hey everyone! I wanted to spark a discussion about debugging since it can be one of the most frustrating parts of coding. Do you have a specific technique or tool that you swear by when you're stuck? Personally, I find that using print statements can be super helpful for tracking down where things are going wrong. I'd love to hear what works for you!

I agree, I do also use print statements whenever I debug something ONLY in cases where I am well-aware that the issue came from syntax or logical perspective. However, cases where you are dealing with computations or complex queries especially on backend, you have to use external tools like Playwright (A automation unit testing using python) or maybe use Sonarqube/SonarLint to optimized it first before you debug something so you can clearly read and understand how it works.

I feel you on that! Print statements are super helpful for quick fixes, but yeah, for more complex stuff, those tools really save time and give clearer insights. Have you found any of those tools more effective than the others?
