This is a must read for techies. So much useful material in there, and in a very digestible form.
It's here!! My new zine "The Pocket Guide to Debugging" is out now!! It has 47 pages of my favourite strategies for solving your sneakiest bugs. 🔎🐛. Get it here for $12:

First Christmas book digested - the excellent English Pastoral by @herdyshepherd1. I feel we've been getting little bits of the third section on Twitter this year but much better all in one go!.
