One Small Trick That Helps Me Debug Faster

When something breaks, the first instinct is often to change the code immediately.

But one habit helped me debug much faster:
I try to reproduce the bug in the smallest possible example.

Instead of looking at the whole project, I isolate the problem.

Sometimes this alone reveals the issue.

And even if it doesn’t, debugging becomes much easier when the problem is reduced to a few lines of code.

Simple trick, but surprisingly effective.

Do you have a debugging habit that helps you?
