I’ve been a dev for 26 years. Am now a technical architect. I use these tools occasionally but 99% of the time I just use console logging. It’s quick and it’s simple and it does the job the vast majority of of the time.

LOL me too. I've been doing this since the late 90s. I've tried using all of the newer/more complex tools, and they definitely have their use cases, but console.log is certainly simpler.

Ironically, the more "senior" I get (20 years) the less I feel a need for these things. A few strategically placed console logs tend to be sufficient for most bugs. Impressive though!
@MichaelKire2 ай бұрын
almost 20 years web dev here as well. Rarely use these tools. As you said: a few well places console logs + a great designed system is all you need. if the code however is poorly designed, I can see the need for these tools to help understanding what the f is going on. I once redid an entire label-printing system, because everything was touching and changing global variables on all sorts of weird ways, making it completely impossible to understand what was going on. Maybe one of these debugging tools could have done a difference, but this was even back before nextjs or react was a thing. Maybe even before typescript was a thing, or in its infancy (8-9 years ago).

It's inspiring to see how experience can simplify your workflow! Ironically, as a newbie with 2 years of experience, I find that I often need to rely on all the new tools out there to be a good developer.
@MichaelKire2 ай бұрын
@@khairiyusoff5040 I think its because you get to a point where you know how the code is supposed to behave and know how to code around potential bottlenecks or problematic areas. Which also means that when you do run into bugs, your instincts tell you exactly where the problems might lie and all you need to do is to verify which one of them gives you the wrong data, needs a filter or what it is. But please use the tools you want to use that can help you not only fix the bugs but also learn whats going on “behind the scenes”. That, in my opinion, is one of the most valuable skills to have in this programming world. Knowing something as “simple” as why you cannot add two decimal point numbers together and then expect the result to be correct, or that most react components can and should be done without useEffect, because using useEffects will add several re-renders and you cannot expect the correct data from the get go, delaying everything below it. Essentially in React you are fighting against creating re-renders. There are instances where we actually go “around” some systems and get their data directly from cookie/storage on load, because otherwise we would have to wait on them spinning up first, delaying everything by several renders / miliseconds.

@LukeLogan-xr7prАй бұрын
This is great- Im a senior dev (10 years), but the biggest challenge for debugging react apps now is the number of packages that use context to wrap around the parent component, and screws up normal rendering and react behavior. It can be really challenging to see what caused a re-render: css, context, props, hooks, etc. Then, using refs throughout adds another pile of complexity.

I have been following this "kid" for so long, but I'm only now starting to fully understand all his "black magic". Thank you for all your vids, even the ones I had to watch over and over, and even the ones I could never fully grasp. To all the OGs arguing that they know better because they have long-term experience that trumps modern gadgetry. You're right. Back in the day, we used to set up breaks, and have to manually parse through the code, variables, functions, and the like to see what was what, and what was breaking where. Remember, this is a new generation of coders who grew up with more precise tools. That being said, that's the main reason I have not been able to keep up with a great deal of this modernity. Sometimes a simple console.log does do the trick.

Love this! BUT, here is some constructive feedback... Stop with the clickbait titles, and FOMO material to scare people to learn concepts. I have to always filter out so many parts of your messaging in my head to ensure I'm learning this because I want to vs. doing it because I'll be useless otherwise. Focus on more objective content, let your viewers decide the value of it and for you not to state what the industry is based on your personal opinion on how it should be. Your standard is way to high (which is why your content is good), but as I can see in the comments your statements around the industry are just not good for peoples minds. That said, no content like this online rn, so I'll keep watching you!
