Collaborative Debugging
summary
Claims that collaborative debugging stops repeated work by breadcrumbed hypotheses and asynchronous tag‑on/tag‑off investigations. Implements a lightweight workflow at Nylas: capture stack traces dropped into tasks, insist on richer user reproduction steps, and document every failed hypothesis. A practical constraint — two‑week log retention — costs real fixes and explains why preserving traces matters. Story: an S3 404 bug gets investigated, handed off, fixed and deployed within two weeks because the documented trail lets someone resume and complete the repair.
