**Level:** ███████░░░ 7/10

## What I did

- had to run gdb on php-fpm more than once
- strace-d more things than any human being should have to
- had test pads in every PCB design I made in my life

## What I think

- Sometimes "print X; exit()" is enough, and we don't have to be all snobby about it
- Sins of observability are the foundation of every gruesome debug session
