[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “debugging strategy: use sounds or pictures I’m still not satisfied with the examples in this one, I’d love to hear examples of how you use visualizations or sounds to debug”

title: use sounds or pictures When you're dealing with a lot of data (like in a game for example), sometimes text isn't the best way for your brain to process it! computer: "<thousands of lines of log messages>" person: "ugh I can't read all this!" computer: boop boop beep beep boop person: "wait, that pattern is super irregular..." Some things you could try: * play a sound every time an event happens! * add red outlines around every HTML element! * display an image representing some data!
