Debugging broken code can be challenging, but some people manage to do it faster and find solutions more quickly. What's their secret? All you need is a little Grit. Grit helps you stay persistent in your search for the problem and gives you the confidence you will find a solution.

I'll explain how incorporating these rules can help you build your grit for debugging and smashing problems.
