A Gentle Introduction to Debugging

An airhacks.fm conversation with Shai Almog (@debugagent) about:
about the name Codename One,
JavaLobby became DZone,
JavaBlogs and java.net,
joining lightrun and developer’s observability,
the theory of debugging,
lightrun: breakpoints which don’t break,
debugging in production has access to the entire data,
lightrun creates snapshots - breakpoints which don’t step,
time travelling debugging,
chrononsystems: DVR with Java,
translate java runtimes to charts with appmap,
the logging breakpoints: logpoints and tracepoints,
exception breakpoints are hard to use,
NetBeans debugger is great,
exception breakpoints are useful with filters,
field watchpoint is not a watch,
renderers in Intellij,
toString, performance and circular dependencies,
memory debugging and MAT by SAP
