Debugging is a Costly Activity

Debugging is a costly activity in terms of time and resources, and its impact can be significant, particularly in software development.

It can delay project timelines, increase costs, and consume a large portion of developer time.

I recently fixed a seemingly simple issue: an HTML form submission was failing. It was calling a backend action with an incorrect HTTP request method given its configuration.

Debugging led to the root cause, which was due to a middleware redirecting and altering the original request.

The time could have been spent on creative activities. Looking forward to AI taking over mundane tasks. 🙂
