Just finished the book recently. It's very insightful. As someone who considers himself good at debugging* and is still trying to improve debugging skills and efficiency, I view this book (and similar resources like this article) as a guide that also helps me reflect on what could have been done in a better way next time.
* Multiple times, I helped others find the root cause of a bug after they spend hours at it and have no clue what is happening
- maleldil 2y agoSeconded. I don't think I learned much from the book, but it helped make my thought process more structured and methodical. I had a friend recently start as a developer, and I strongly recommended this to them. I believe Hillel Wayne gives a copy to every junior dev he meets.
