In short: Debugging carries a scientific name, but the toughest failures are cracked by judgment, not formulas. You follow clues like a detective, lean on experience to sense where a bug hides, invent unplanned stress cases, and talk the problem through with your team. The rigorous side confirms a cause; the artistic side is what…
In short: A hard bug is easier when you work in order instead of guessing. Reproduce it reliably, break the flow into small parts, gather logs and waveforms, read the data for patterns, then find the root cause before you change anything. Fix one thing at a time, ask for a second pair of eyes…
