Very similar to “you get the best ideas while sleeping“:
[WayBack/Archive.is] Sasha Laundy on Twitter: “The best debugger ever made is a good night’s sleep.”

For me, taking a shower and contemplating during a commute are good debuggers too. But sleeping is still the best.
Hope you enjoyed Christmas, good luck on your debugging ventures!

These quotes remind me so much of a project from a while ago I rolled into and forgot to ask them if they not just nodded “yes” when I asked them “do you understand de concept of technical debt”?

Somebody didn’t believe the claim “Git is easy to learn” and wrote a [WayBack] git man page generator (of course with a repository: github: Lokaltog/git-man-page-generator), for example generating
git-complete-tipNAME
git-complete-tipcomplete all non-committed downstream tips opposite of a few rebased remote indicesSYNOPSIS
git-complete-tip[ –maintain-log | –lecture-violate-history ]DESCRIPTION
git-complete-tipcompletes a few staged tips inside any forward-ported non-staged unstaged indices, and a few checked out subtrees fscked by histories in the tree, but that are not inHOLD_SUBTREE, are checked out in a temporary pack.…
For the same reason there is [WayBack] XKXD: Git (image on the right), which is [WayBack] explained for a reason. Just see this little summary:
The difficulty of using Git in common situations is belied by the apparent simplicity of its use in tutorial-style situations. Committing and sharing changes is fairly straightforward, for instance, but recovering from situations such as accidental commits, pushes or bad merges is difficult without a solid understanding of the rather large and complex conceptual model. For instance, three of the top five highest voted questions on Stack Overflow are questions about how to carry out relatively simple tasks: undoing the last commit, changing the last commit message, and deleting a remote branch.
Actually the “easy to learn” means “there is easy to find documentation for it“.

Oh boy:
Ditch IDEs like Intellij and glorified text editors like Eclipse, and switch to a real IDE, MS Paint.
It wraps around MS Paint.
You can get it at [WayBack] MS Paint IDE and source code at [WayBack] GitHub – RubbaBoy/MSPaintIDE: Programming in MS Paint.
A long thread discussing it, including a tutorial: [WayBack] Resource – Programming in MS Paint [UPDATED] | SpigotMC – High Performance Minecraft
