I break it down step by step. First, I identify the core issue behind the feedback—whether it's a logic flaw, performance concern, or best practice suggestion. Then, I reproduce the issue if possible to see its impact. If something isn’t clear, I ask targeted questions to avoid assumptions. Finally, I apply fixes incrementally, testing after each change to ensure I'm addressing the root cause.

If I were debugging a complex code and receive for the same: - I'll first, understand whether the feedback is inline with my approach or not. - If not, then I'll start by incorporating the same as-is and analyze if it helps. - Then, I'll progressively change things and test if everything works at each stage. For me, debugging starts with identifying where the issue is and working backwards. And having fun, while at it 😇✨️

To fully understand debugging feedback, start by replicating the issue in a controlled environment. Break down feedback into actionable parts and prioritize critical errors. Collaborate with colleagues for diverse insights. Use version control to track changes and note improvements. Document each step, noting successful strategies. Perform tests iteratively, confirming each fix. Reflect on patterns or recurring errors to enhance your debugging skills over time.

When reviewing feedback on complex code, the first step is to read it carefully without reacting. It’s important to understand whether the feedback is about logic, readability, performance, or style. If something isn’t clear, asking for examples or clarification helps avoid assumptions. Rewriting parts of the code in smaller pieces can also make it easier to apply suggestions. Finally, confirming the changes with the reviewer ensures the solution matches the expectation and avoids back-and-forth.

As stated by others the top idea is first to simplify things. Step through line by line and break it down. Is the function long and unwieldy? Refactor where possible and simplify as much as you can. Once you break it down it will be easier to understand and usually the bug just jumps out at you. Breaking down problems is the number one skill for a programmer, by far.
