How I Discovered the Power of Chrome DevTools

🌟 Real debugging doesn’t happen in your IDE — it happens in Chrome DevTools. The Tool I Underestimated as a Developer 🧠 When I started building MERN projects, I thought Chrome DevTools was just for checking HTML or CSS. But after debugging real-world code, I realized it’s so much more than that. It’s not just a tool — it’s a window into your app’s brain. Now I can’t go a day without: 🔹 Elements Tab – track visual glitches or CSS overrides. 🔹 Network Tab – see why an API isn’t responding as expected. 🔹 Sources Tab – set breakpoints and trace code flow like a detective. 🔹 Console & Application Tabs – catch hidden errors and inspect storage/session data. 🔹 Performance & Lighthouse – make apps smoother, faster, and cleaner. 🔍 The more I explore DevTools, the more I realize — debugging teaches you how your app truly works. Even senior devs rely on it every day — it’s not basic, it’s foundational. 💬 What’s your favorite DevTools tab and why? #WebDevelopment #Debugging #ChromeDevTools #MERN #Frontend #LearningInPublic #Developers
