Improve Debugging with Focused Logging

Real talk: You spend hours searching bugs because you don’t reproduce them first. You guess instead of confirming. Fix: - Reproduce the bug consistently - Note exact steps - Then debug from there If you can’t reproduce it, you can’t fix it. #Programming #Debugging #DevTips #WebDev

Real talk: You keep getting off-by-one errors in loops. Everything looks correct… but results are wrong. Fix: - Check your start and end conditions - Log index values - Use clear loop boundaries One small mistake breaks everything. #Programming #Debugging #DevTips #WebDev

Last week, I was telling a friend about how great it would be to customize those Claude Code loading verbs that randomly appear after you prompt. Turns out I wasn’t the only one thinking this, since Anthropic actually made them configurable earlier this year. You can customize them entirely at a system, user, or project level via settings.json files (docs link in the comments). So naturally, I had to make a list of 100+ loading messages that would give any developer a mini heart attack when read. What would you customize yours to be? #claudecode #programming #softwaredeveloper

6 hours of debugging can save you 5 minutes of reading documentation.😅 We’ve all done it. Next time… maybe read first, debug later. #Developers #Programming #Debugging

Day 10 Debugging made me a better developer. Not coding. Because debugging teaches: 👉 How your code actually works Tip: Stop guessing. Start tracing. Breakpoints are your best friend. #debugging #programming

Real talk: You spend hours on a bug because you don’t read the error message. You just guess and try random fixes. Fix: - Read the full error - Check the line it points to - Search the exact message The answer is usually there. #Debugging #Programming #DevTips #WebDev

Real talk: You keep copying code from Stack Overflow without understanding it. It works… until it doesn’t. Fix: - Read what the code does - Test it in isolation - Adjust it to your use case Don’t just copy code. Understand it. #Programming #DevTips #LearningToCode #WebDev

Real talk: You lose progress because you don’t save your work often. One crash… everything is gone. Fix: - Commit regularly - Use autosave - Push your code often Don’t trust your machine. Save your work. #Programming #Git #DevTips #Productivity

Real talk: You spend hours fixing bugs caused by hardcoded values. Works today… breaks tomorrow. Fix: - Use environment variables - Move configs out of code - Avoid magic numbers Flexible code lasts longer. #Programming #DevTips #CleanCode #WebDev

🔀 Return codes hide your algorithm. Exceptions set it free. Look at a function full of return code checks. Somewhere inside all that nesting is the actual logic but you're reading two things at once. What happens when it works, and what happens when it doesn't. That's the real cost of return codes. They force two concerns into one structure, and neither one is readable on its own. Now look at the same function with exceptions: ✅ Verify the session ✅ Resolve the channel ✅ Moderate the content ✅ Broadcast to members Four steps. That's what the function does. The algorithm doesn't know about error handling. The error handling doesn't know about the algorithm. You can read either one without the other getting in the way. #CleanCode #Flutter #Dart #CodeQuality #SoftwareEngineering #Programming #DevTips #100DaysOfCode
