Great post! I had no idea about the visual debugger. Debugging with IEx.pry is doable but can be time consuming having to keep adding pry statements and no way, at least that I know of, to step through your code execution.

Hey Ryan, you're right, pry is limited regarding code navigation. The best you can do is to use break!/4 along with continue/0, or use the visual debugger.
