Debugging Mental Models

Debugging often feels like an argument with your tools, as you wrestle with unexpected values and mental models. The challenge intensifies when you accidentally hit the wrong command, forcing you to restart not just your session but also your thought process. With advancements in IDEs, the ability to "go back in time" is impressive, yet it doesn't eliminate the cognitive burden of tracking bugs. A proposed solution is to create a "slice of code" feature that highlights all relevant code related to a specific line, enhancing efficiency and clarity in debugging.
