| The Art of Debugging in the Era of AI |
| We are happy to announce that Bhupendra Mishra will be our special guest for this month's meeting. |
| This talk addresses one of the most critical yet underappreciated skills in software development: debugging. While AI-assisted coding tools can accelerate development, they also introduce new challenges. From code that developers may not fully understand to subtle errors that escape regular testing cycles. Every AI-generated line of code still needs to be tested, validated, and verified before reaching production, making strong debugging skills more essential than ever. |
| Drawing on real-world experience solving complex production issues, this session will share practical approaches, proven techniques, and modern tools for effective debugging. It will emphasize debugging not as a reactive activity but as a systematic process for identifying root causes and building confidence in solutions. |
| The talk will cover three core areas: mindset, techniques, and tools. I will share how ChatGPT and other LLMs can help with analyzing error messages and exceptions. I will also introduce various other tools e.g., Charles Proxy, Datadog, Postman that assist during the debugging process. |
| Attendees will leave with clear, actionable strategies to debug smarter, faster, and more confidently, and to adapt their skills for success in an AI-driven development landscape. |
