We have a lot of tools at our disposal when programming for the web. Shells, editors, IDEs, emulators, simulators, browsers and their associated dev tools, compilers, version control systems like GIT, build tools like webpack, the list goes on and on.

A common pitfall is to learn just enough of these tools to get by. We can end up using a shallow subset of these tools features like proverbial hammers rendering many problems nails. This can make day to day development alot harder than it needs to be.

You will spend a lot of time with these tools during your programming career. It’s worth getting to know them well. In this post I’ll share some features of Chrome DevTools you may not be aware of that I’ve found to be most useful in day to day hacking on thick client apps.

So with that said grab that flux capacitor. Where we’re going we don’t need console.log!
