The JavaScript Debugging Tools That’ll Save Your Time

You're spraying console.log() statements across your codebase like you're trying to find bugs with a shotgun. Every refresh is a slow-motion nightmare, and your logs look more like a ransom note than useful insight.

Been there. We all have!

But here’s the truth: most devs get stuck in this console.log purgatory because no one ever walked them through the actual tools sitting right under their nose.

Let me save you years of pain. Here's what I wish someone had told me from the start:

• ✅ Use breakpoints in Chrome DevTools. Inspect variables without littering your code.

• 🔍 Step through your code line by line. You’ll see what’s really happening, not what you think is happening.

• ⏱️ Leverage the Network tab. Know what’s being sent, when, and why it's failing.

• 🧠 Profile performance instead of guessing. Stop optimizing the wrong things.

• 🛠️ Use conditional breakpoints and watches to inspect specific states without reloading a hundred times.

You're not a junior anymore. Debug like it.

Refactor the chaos…
