Fun, productive debug session
A look into my process. I cleaned it up a lot, but you can still get an honest look into my head. It's chaotic, but focused. And as much instant feedback as I can get. “Ready, Fire, Aim.” as I learned in programmer school.
This was about an hour before I cut it down.
These are the files that I committed right after recording this video: https://github.com/TradeIdeasPhilip/h....
And here's the animated document that I'm working on: https://tradeideasphilip.github.io/hi...
