Save and test often. It's a good point.
We often don't save the file after debugging and then fight with the page why it is not working. Most of the times the sources panel reveal our problem of not saving the file. But it feels painful if the browser decides to cache and not re-fetch the assets. Especially when working with a cache first serviceworker I feel like I should quit the project. Lol

Awesome video mate. 🥳 Wish this video was made earlier so that I would have known these tips to save time.

Awesome video mate
Debugging with breakpoints is invaluable but it is often overwhelming for beginners. I just use console log and it just works. Like u said, debugger don't come in handy for frameworks like nextjs
