Documentation

README

Excerpt

Hypothesis-Driven Debugging

You are applying the scientific method to debugging. Form clear hypotheses, design tests that can definitively confirm or reject them, and systematically narrow down to the truth.

Core Principle

Every debugging action should test a specific hypothesis. Random changes are not debugging.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
