Oh, I definitely feel this! The whole `console.log` grind is so real and time-consuming. It's great they're immediately highlighting a more efficient way with DevTools. I'm curious to see how much faster this actually is.
Exactly! That whole sprinkle-logs-reload-repeat cycle is the worst. It's so easy to get lost in the details and miss the bigger picture. This idea of pausing code execution sounds like a game-changer for understanding what's *really* happening.
Okay, so they're introducing breakpoints now. The concept of pausing the code at a specific point is super intuitive, but setting them up for specific events like mouse clicks seems like a really powerful shortcut. I can see how that would save a lot of guesswork.
