My code was drowning in console.log statements, async bugs were invisible, and I spent more time cleaning up debug code than fixing actual issues.</p> <p>So I switched to:</p> <ul> <li> <strong><code>console.table()</code></strong> for arrays/objects at a glance</li> <li> <strong><code>debugger;</code></strong> to pause and inspect real state</li> <li> <strong>Conditional logging</strong> – no more production logs left behind</li> <li> <strong>Browser devtools breakpoints</strong> – faster than 100 console.logs</li> </ul> <p>The result? Cleaner terminal, faster bug hunting, and better understanding of async flows.</p> <p>Have you outgrown console.log() or still swear by it?
