How does this skill help with production bugs?

It provides a production debugging pattern that focuses on gathering evidence from error trackers, reproducing issues with anonymized data, and using safe investigation techniques like feature flags and staging tests.

Does it support specific programming languages?

Yes, it includes specialized debugging patterns, tool configurations, and code snippets for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go.

What is 'Binary Search Debugging' in this context?

It refers to techniques for narrowing down a bug by systematically isolating sections of code or using 'git bisect' to identify the specific commit where a regression was introduced.

Can it help find memory leaks?

Yes, the skill includes strategies for memory profiling using Chrome DevTools, Node.js heap snapshots, and automated memory leak detection within test suites.

Why use this skill over standard console logging?

While it includes logging patterns, it encourages more efficient tools like interactive debuggers, profilers, and the scientific method to resolve bugs faster and avoid repetitive guesswork.
