How This Course Works

Most software engineers groan when they get hit with a random bug task while they're in the middle of feature development. However, this is actually the completely wrong reaction reaction to have - It should be the opposite! This course is here to teach you why bugs are a deeply underrated growth opportunity and how you can become amazing at fixing them fast.

Here are the core parts of the lesson:

• Your instructor Rahul Pandey walks you through his extensive 10+ year Silicon Valley background with rapid career advancement, ending up as a high-performing Staff Engineer [E6] at Meta. Most importantly, he talks about how becoming a debugging master led to him getting to Meta E6 and boosting his total compensation to $800k+!

• We walk you through the course objectives. By the end of the course, you will:

  • 🧠 Learn how to properly prioritize debugging

  • 📋 Understand the necessary prep work before the fix

  • 💡 Develop a mental framework to fix any bug

  • ✅ Understand the difference between good and bad fixes
