A Bug Hunt for 14 hours: Day in a life of web developer (Day 22)

Join me on a stressful day in the life of a software engineer as I debug a frustrating jitter issue. Follow along my journey from initial panic to "aha" moments while chugging coffee and racking my brain for a solution. After 14 hours of coding, refactoring, and visualizing mouse events, I finally smooth out the jitters and get the best sleep ever.
See how I:
- Investigate render issues reported by my team
- Brainstorm and test multiple potential fixes
- Get bursts of inspiration at the gym, over lunch, and on the beach
- Refine an algorithm to dramatically optimize 20K mouse events
- Persevere through roadblocks to finally squash the bug
For anyone who's ever struggled with a stubborn code issue for hours on end, this one's for you!

[@AnujGupta-10]

Bhai Iam also learning js now its been 2 months. and building projects around it . But I can’t build logics in it and can’t able to solve errors in my code . If the code has tons of lines in it, I mess it up even more. Please tell me how can I overcome all this issues ? And it demotivates me ALOT!! And build major projects in future.

[@DivyanshuNegivlog]

Hi, thank you so much, Its hard in beginning, gets much easier after 3-4 months, also use a lot of AI to learn and ask questions to understand things better. but practice is the key

[@AnujGupta-10]

@@DivyanshuNegivlog THANKS ! Sorry to take your time , But what should I practice ?? Like till now I know all the theoretical knowledge of JavaScript . But I don’t know much about how to implement it to build something. It would be so nice if you give me the brief idea of “how should I practice” things ??

[@DivyanshuNegivlog]

@@AnujGupta-10 If I was you, I would build a small project very very small, something like a list of AI apps web app, to make it fun I would list some AI tools based on category and show them on a web page. and slowly add features like upvote them, rank based on category. pricing etc.
