Debugging is TDD in reverse. People who are spending a lot of time using a debugger are like people who are doing TDD in a Bizarro world.

Main difference: Chance that it’s covered with tests. Test for null 🟢.Test for null and empty 🌕.Test for null and empty and 1 white space 🔴. If you play that game where you see if you can break production code with tests still passing, start with these methods.
