When people picture “coding,” they picture fast typing and features coming to life. Nobody pictures the real majority of the job: staring at a stack trace or lets say a particular project trying to figure out why something that should work, isn’t.
Here’s what nobody tells you starting out — getting good at debugging has almost nothing to do with how well you write code, and everything to do with how well you read.
The real difference between beginners and experienced devs isn’t complex knowledge — it’s that experienced devs read carefully and form a hypothesis before touching anything. Beginners (me included) tend to skip straight to changing code and hoping. It feels faster. It rarely is.
One thing i’d like to advise other fellow beginner devs is ….Slow down, read the error properly, and follow the stack trace to where it actually starts — not where it ends up.
What’s a bug that taught you this the hard way?
