#103 - The 4-Step Process for Debugging JavaScript Applications and How it Got Me Promoted


Listen Later

Debugging may be one of the most underrated technical skills as a developer. It is one of the major differences between a junior and senior developer.
I'm going to share the story of a super stressful bug I had to fix years ago while working at a start up and the method I still use to track and fix critical issues in JS code.
It's dramatic. It's emotional. It's software!

If video is more your thing, you can watch me walk through some tips here.

BTW, it's getting really close to the deadline to apply for Jan 2024 cohorts. We will be introducing TypeScript and rolling out more open source and internship opportunities in the new year as well as a LinkedIn course I'm pretty juiced to create that will be free for grads and not-so-free for everyone else.
