Are you one of those "gifted debuggers" that everyone turns to when they need to solve a difficult problem? Great! This workshop isn't for you. For the rest of us, debugging is often considered a mysterious trait that some engineers were born with, but alas, some simply aren't. This workshop is here to bust that myth.


In this workshop, we will practice a well-structured debugging methodology—conducting debugging "katas" with the aim of mastering debugging technique.


Let's stop using trial and error (and other witchcraft tactics) to find the cause(s) of our problems!


This workshop is for junior and senior engineers interested in improving their debugging methodology. Despite debugging being a very common activity, in real word scenarios noise, cognitive biases, system complexity, and production pressures can easily lead us astray. By training yourself in debugging methodology you can improve your real world performance under these harsh conditions.
