Debugging is a skill that we have a hard time exercising and is one of the most difficult to teach. It is a scientific discipline and an art. It requires you to reach beyond analytical thinking to rely upon your own intuition. In this talk, we’ll examine how intuition plays a role in debugging software. We'll explore practical pointers on tapping into intuition and combining it with analytical processes to be a better developer.
