Smart Debugging - Heavy Weapons for Hard Bugs

Smart Debugging - Heavy Weapons for Hard Bugs

Debugging can be exciting, but often also very, very frustrating. In this talk, I'll show you some lesser-known tools and techniques to find problems faster and make the compiler show you issues, before they become a crash for your users. Of course we also look at some real world examples.. TEKI CON🍍 Atlanta, March 2018
