For many software engineers, bugs seem like daunting obstacles—unnecessary distractions from the "real" work of developing new features and launching projects. However, the ability to efficiently fix errors is actually one of the most underrated ways of an engineer's professional growth. This course will help you change your approach to debugging and provide the tools to become that indispensable person everyone turns to in critical situations.

You will learn to:

  • Correctly prioritize during debugging
  • Understand what preparation is necessary before fixing a bug
  • Develop a mental model to help handle any bugs
  • Distinguish good fixes from bad ones
  • Receive maximum recognition for successful debugging

As a result, you will become faster, calmer, and more confident in working with bugs. Most importantly, you will begin to see them not as obstacles but as opportunities to stand out, deepen your skills, and accelerate your career growth.

In 4.5 years of working at Meta, I experienced the disappointment of failures and finally achieved a promotion to Staff Engineer (E6). This course summarizes years of my career experience as an individual contributor (IC), transition to management, as well as interactions with over 500 engineers, to identify the patterns that hinder engineers at this critical stage of their careers.
