When approaching debugging, I first replicate the issue to understand its nature. Next, I analyze logs and employ console statements to pinpoint the cause. Collaborating with peers to gain different perspectives is also invaluable. I ensure I document my findings to advance the team's knowledge and prevent future occurrences.
