Thank you for not cutting the video and letting us see the problems that you ran into! Because I have the same problem that you encountered too, and I thought maybe there's something wrong with my approach.

I have observed one weird behaviour. I'm not sure if it's just me. When stepping thru react code or any JS or TS code. the breakpoint is hit multiple times without any obvious reason and often the code is executed mutiple times. Why is that?

So how common is it to use the debugger vs console.log() ?

[real-neo-altair]

console logs... you are an absolute MAD LAD :-)

[mattmarkus]

Hey does this work the same if you happen to be using Typescript and CRA ?

[randompointlessness]

so you don't get - Breakpoint ignored because generated code not found (source map problem?). how is that ? =/

that's the issue of programming framework
