The intro already says this, but this article is about the high-level mindset of effective debuggers, as opposed to a list of useful specific tricks. I think the latter article is extremely valuable but (a) I don't quite have the raw experience to do such an article justice, and (b) I think the high-level philosophy of debugging has broader relevance across different languages, frameworks, or even disciplines (that is to say, one thing that struck me while writing this article is that the approach isn't just relevant to Software Engineers but really anyone who needs to identify and solve problems more generally).
