Debugging Treasure Hunt
summary
Live demo uses VS Code with the Go extension and Delve to run a mini web server that spawns goroutines and hides clues; one locker search inspects a slice of over 12 million lockers but the clue sits in locker 7654321. An attached debugger session changes a variable (bait → "ice cream") to trap a monkey process, catches a panic to read a message about butterflies, uses log points and a conditional breakpoint for butterfly id 0, and finds a palm tree that yields a golden gopher.
