Let's be honest, nowadays most of us see an error, copy it into ChatGPT, and hope for the best. I've done it. You've done it. We've all wasted 30 minutes going back and forth with AI when our browser could've shown us the answer in 2 minutes.

This talk is about remembering that our browsers have incredible debugging tools we've forgotten how to use. Through live demos of real bugs, I'll show you how breakpoints, call stacks, and the network tab can solve problems maybe faster than any AI assistant.

You'll learn:

• How to ditch console.log hell and actually watch your code run
• Breakpoint tricks that pause your app so you can inspect what's really happening
• How to read call stacks without your eyes glazing over
• Network tab techniques that expose exactly why your API is misbehaving
• When debugging tools beat AI (and when AI is actually helpful)
 I'm not saying don't use AI—I use it all the time. But there's something powerful about understanding your own code well enough to fix it yourself. Plus, you'll be way faster, and you'll actually learn something instead of just copy-pasting solutions you don't understand.
