I got interviewed by Nature on how to catch bugs in scientific software. My "Basics of Debugging 101" were:
1. Proceed systematically
2. Find out when the bug occurs
3. Explain the bug to a rubber duck
4. Write tests that replicate the bug
Enjoy the read! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01261-w
