Why does debugging feel easy for everyone except me?

Start by reducing it to the smallest reproducible piece, then change one variable at a time. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Write down the exact error and the input that caused it.
- Make a tiny example, then add pieces back slowly.
- Keep the final fix boring and well-named.

That should give you a solid first pass.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

@curious_isha97 Totally agree, especially for beginners.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

Try making a tiny reproduction with no framework code. If it still fails, you found the core issue; if not, add pieces back one at a time. I would love to see a follow-up after 7 weeks.
