    echo __LINE__ . "Moo\n";

    Honestly if you’re not including the LoC in your debug statement I don’t even fucking understand you.

    But yeah, senior devs know the power of breadcrumb debugging (because most of us were deeply scarred by gdb).

        I always combine that with objects with the shorthand notation. So you always know what variable has what value without having to remember in what order you printed the variables.

        console.trace({i, list});
        // {i: 1, list: [0, 1, 2]}

      Don’t you want it to look a little nicer? echo __LINE__ . “: Moo!”;
