With the introduction of debugging tools, software developers were empowered to interactively investigate the control flow of software programs to find bugs
It’s a little hard to iterate and think when you’re adding to a complicated codebase you might not have worked with in several months, or even just a portion of a project that’s seemed stable for a long time.
