@dalastTomCruise yeah, and psychologists..but it's always just a precision guess work..

@sladuled yep just like debugging- you follow the trail of data provided and keep theorizing until you narrow in enough to make a conclusion.

@dalastTomCruise yeah, but you can inspect an object and know it's properties at that time for sure.. no guessing what values it holds.

@sladuled I’m intentionally being broad and general here... but yes that’s what I mean by “trail of data”. Anything that you encounter that can help you get to the conclusion. So for detectives it gather all the information from the scene. For devs it’s getting all information in the stack trace and breakpoints ect
Case: oh object A has member attr blah as None. Maybe that’s causing job Z to fail because it need blah blah to be set
