ruby/debug - The best investment for your productivity

In this talk, I will demonstrate 3 powerful debugging techniques using Ruby's new debugger ruby/debug:

  • Step-debugging
  • Frame navigation
  • Breakpoint commands

By using them together, we can reduce unnecessary context switching and make our debugging sessions more efficient. You will also learn more about ruby/debug while we walk through these techniques with its commands and console.

And finally, I will show you how to level up our productivity even further by automating debugging steps using ruby/debug's scriptable breakpoints.
