Future of JavaScript Debugging: Dbux and Dynamic Program Analysis | Dominik Seifert

Debugging takes 30-60% of a developer's time. In this talk, we’ll explore how to reduce that and make it more fun. Through Dbux, we'll interact with call graphs, visualize asynchrony, follow the data flow trail, and more.

This talk was given at Codementor Event’s annual developer conference, and it covers:
- The pain of dynamic program analysis and debugging
- How to alleviate that pain points of finding and removing bugs
- A glimpse of what's to come: live demos and examples with Dbux

Dominik is a dev, mentor, and Ph.D. candidate, researching interactive debugging techniques. He’s dedicated to solving complex problems and sharing knowledge.
