Have you tried using some AI tool when debugging?
(ChatGPT, Copilot, CodiumAI,…, Disclaimer: I’m the co-maker of CodiumAI)

Really the most frustrating job that was ever invented. But you could almost say it is worth the satisfaction of fixing the last bug.

I find that setting a timer to debug really helps. Maybe an hour max if I’m stuck in a never-ending loop of trying things out. I find that taking a break and coming back later with a fresh mind helps speed up the debugging process more than just trying things for hours on end to no avail.
