Debug Like a Pro with pdb

AI changed software development. This is how the pros use it.
Written for working developers, Coding with AI goes beyond hype to show how AI fits into real production workflows. Learn how to integrate AI into Python projects, avoid hallucinations, refactor safely, generate tests and docs, and reclaim hours of development time—using techniques tested in real-world projects.
Step through your code interactively with the built-in debugger.
# Use pdb for debugging
import pdb
def faulty_function():
a = 1
b = 0
pdb.set_trace() # Start debugger here
return a / b
faulty_function()
# You'll enter an interactive debugging session at this point
