This talk will focus on the evolution and methodologies of debugging in Python, exploring three distinct approaches: traditional print statements, ipdb/pdb (interactive Python Debugger/Python Debugger), and the use of breakpoints in Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). The presentation will delve into the concept and purpose of debugging, tracing its historical development. It will explain the basic mechanism of a print statement in debugging, the functionality and history of Python's debugging tools like ipdb/pdb, and how debuggers interact with a program to pause and analyze it. Additionally, the talk will compare workflows involving debuggers versus print statements, highlighting the practical aspects of debugging in Python programming.

Royce Hoe started his career in HR consulting. But he fell in love with programming. Through a mix of courage, foolishness, and a dose of optimism, he decided to quit his job and teach himself programming in the hopes of becoming a software engineer. Royce is currently a full-stack engineer at Rida, a ride optimization startup; when he writes JavaScript, he often dreams of Python.
