root-cause-debugging-method

Debugs software defects through a reproduce, isolate, hypothesize, test, fix, prevent cycle: reading stack traces properly, bisecting regressions, driving language debuggers, recognizing common bug patterns, and landing fixes with regression tests. Use when the user says "this crashes with a TypeError", "find the root cause", "it fails intermittently", "trace this stack trace", "hunt down this memory leak", or "the tests broke after yesterday's merge". Not for writing features, setting up monitoring or alerting, or triaging incident response.
