debugging Rails code without a debugger

That feeling figuring out a bug.. like... you f'ing ROCKSTAR! An ocean of people harping out - "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

Debugger god

Fun fact about bugs - an actual bug is the reason why we coin computer errors a "bug". One day during WW2, a moth crashed into the Harvard Mark 2 (a computer). The circuit boards were huge.. weighing in 25 short tons. That's 5,0000lbs. yikes.

Anyways, no need to explain my debugging methods. I use all of Aaron Patterson's tricks.

He unofficially owns the "Ruby Debugger Manifesto without a Debugger". He also owns the grumpiest cat in the world.
