"My Favorite Debugging Technique: Using Console Logs Effectively"

As developers, we've all been there - stuck on a bug that seems impossible to solve. One technique that has saved me countless hours is using console logs effectively.

The Problem
When debugging, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data. We often find ourselves logging entire objects or arrays, only to sift through pages of output.

The Solution

Log specific variables or values that you suspect are causing the issue.
Use console.table() to log arrays or objects in a readable format.
Use console.group() to group related logs
