Day 79 of Year 3
Day 810 since Jan 1, 2024

💻 nhcarrigan-mentorship:
• Practiced backend debugging and reviewed API route flows
• Identified common issues: request parameters, environment variables, route mismatches
• Strengthened ability to troubleshoot efficiently

The more you debug, the more patterns you see. Problems become predictable — and solvable.

Day 74 of Year 3
Day 805 since Jan 1, 2024

💻 nhcarrigan-mentorship:
• Improved backend API debugging workflows
• Traced request flow through routes → controllers → database
• Focused on identifying where issues occur and resolving them efficiently

Understanding the flow is everything — once you see the full path, debugging becomes a skill, not a struggle.

After months, I got an issue with my radio transceiver setup debugged. No fun to say.. but I should have read the manual better. :)

This article is a recap, my attempt to understand what I could have done better..

Might be an interesting read for people who are curious how much is involved to send radio signals.

Me: I really need to launch the things I’m building with Kitten¹ this year.

Also me: You know what would be sweet? If I added an introspection API to make working with the Kitten Shell (REPL)² easier.

(It is going to be sweet though. Prototyping it in the REPL now and I’ll record a little demo when I’m done and it’s released. It’s going to make examining and affecting the state of the client from the server interactively even easier.)

Logs silent? Metrics noisy? Bug unreproducible? This piece from @gireeshpunam & Aditi Srinivas shows how to debug when nothing makes sense.

I have hyprland on my lab pc (considering a switch to niri), and just had a situation in which I couldn't get gamepads to work no matter what I did.

Solution: make sure I had the `input` group so I had permission to access `/dev/input/*`...... * facepalms * 🤦‍♀️
