We've got an interesting topic for you this time in an oft-neglected area: debugging. Your host has some bad habits in this area and mostly just uses **message** along with the occasional **toggle-debug-on-error** to figure out why his code is broken. Join him in leveling up.

Some related resources:

* Jon Eskin [debugs an Advent of Code package](https://jeskin.net/blog/debugging-emacs/)
* [A short demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odkYXXYOxpo) by Nick Ferrier showing edebug and macrostep
* The [manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Debugging.html)
* The inevitable [System Crafters video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfwSc-lfFxM)

As usual our content is crowdsourced, so bring your short demos, talks, ideas, etc. to share.

This event will again feature remote participation via Big Blue Button. The link is [https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/mic-4uy-qlr-iwf](https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/mic-4uy-qlr-iwf)

For IRL attendees, no food is provided but you are welcome to bring some. We will need to clean up after ourselves, though.

Hope to see you there!
