Ask HN: What's the one missing detail that usually makes a bugs hard to debug? 3 points by nishilpatel 6mo ago ↗ HN When debugging issues in UAT, what information do you end up recreating by hand? Logs, state, timing, data, versions, or something else?
[–] gregjor 6mo ago ↗ My biggest roadblocks come from my own certainty that I wrote correct code. That leads me to look in the wrong places for the bug. I have repeatedly looked right at bugs and not seen them because I felt sure that code works as expected. [–] nishilpatel 6mo ago ↗ This resonates. A lot of debugging time isn’t spent finding where the bug is, but unlearning the assumption that “this part is obviously correct.”
